Prepare for shivers and chills at the Illinois State University Planetarium with Ghostly Tales Under the Stars. Showtimes are 7:30 p.m. and midnight on Friday, October 27, 2023, and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 28, 2023.

Join the Improv Mafia as they perform frightening improv-style stories of the supernatural live beneath the stars. Spooky tales—old, new, and maybe true—will stand your hair on end! The 7:30 p.m. performances on both nights are family-oriented and appropriate for all audiences. The midnight performance on Friday evening is more intense and recommended for mature audiences.

Also look for The Ghostly Tales Storytelling Hour at 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 28, 2023. This matinee presentation involves family-friendly spooky storytelling by members of the Improv Mafia.
