Night Flight’s 9th Annual FRIGHT NIGHT – A Halloween Circus

Oct 24-26 | 2019

Presenting Night Flight’s 9th Annual FRIGHT NIGHT – A Halloween Circus! This year we are thrilled to transport our audience to a witch’s coming of age.

Agatha the witch just wants to pass her final exam for Mx. Morgan’s School of Magic and Domination. But her text book is soggy, her wand is broken and the weird sisters keep stealing her ideas. Not to mention it is Halloween Night and vampires, wolves and those creepy girls from Salem won’t let her study in peace. Will she be able to find her magic and summon a creature from the unseelie realm in order to graduate on time? Or will she have to sign up for summer school again?

Featuring world class circus arts, Night Flight’s FRIGHT NIGHT is a Halloween tradition not to be missed. Now in it’s 9th year, FRIGHT NIGHT consistently delivers gorgeous aerial and acrobatics with a delightfully spooky and sexy story. After selling out all five shows in 2018, we are moving FRIGHT NIGHT to Lincoln Hall for a bigger stage, bigger acts and bigger thills!

Travel with us to a dark circus haunt in a forgotten corner of New Orleans. This Halloween the barrier between worlds has grown thin. A sudden wind shakes the shutters, the band starts to play and in stride two demons ready to start a ruckus. Featuring a contorting centipede both lovely and grotesque, devilish creatures of the night performing a wild dance on Chinese pole, and bioluminescent fireflies spinning high above on duo trapeze, this year’s show promises to be a sexy and gory adventure for the senses!

Night Flight’s 2nd Annual: FRIGHT NIGHT – A HALLOWEEN CIRCUS

Night Flight aerial artists and Eric Stern of Vagabond Opera come together at the Alberta Rose for a diabolical night of high-flying witches, harrowing high wire harlots and ghoulish dancing goblins. This will be a night so good it will give you chills!

BE PORTLAND’s Review of Night Flight’s 2nd Annual FRIGHT NIGHT:
“Suspended twenty feet in the air, a pair of skeletons contort their bodies within a steel prism above a crowd of awe stricken audience members watching in silent admiration. They dangle there for a few moments with their heads aimed towards the ground below before swinging their bodies around each other and through the prism in a series of carefully choreographed maneuvers that make the audience bust out in whistles of approval and cheers of amazement.

This was the scene Saturday night at the Alberta Rose Theatre as Portland aerial acrobatic troupe Night Flights performed their second annual presentation of Fright Night: A Halloween Circus, to a sold out crowd. The theatre was packed with an awestruck audience as they watched amazing feats performed by a truly impressive group of daring acrobats that not only kept the crowds necks craned towards the ceiling to watch as the performers swung from trapezes and dangled above the ground from chains but also kept them laughing the entire night . . .” -John Rosales [Be Portland] READ MORE
