Dead Centre of Town

Hello, kittens. Game for another night of fright, are you?

Back for two nights of gory good fun, the fourth annual Dead Centre of Town grips the heart of old downtown by celebrating one of Edmonton’s finest, oldest theatre venues, the New City Compound.

BEWARE: Dead Centre of Town ain’t for the faint of heart. Performances contain extreme violence, ghastly gore and unsettling themes, and are intended for an 18+ audience only.

“The rail came through here in 1910, did you know that? During times of trouble and war, the train brought back the dead. As a consequence, funeral parlours, coffin makers, embalmers, necrophiles all began to crawl toward old Edmonton. And this area here – downtown Edmonton – became known as the Dead Centre of Town….”

Dead Centre of Town is an annual interactive Halloween experience that digs up and dances with the dusty bones of the sadly forgotten history of downtown Edmonton. Based on the interesting and sometimes sordid history of our downtown, Dead Centre of Town has taken place in locations like The Globe Bar and Tap House (10045 109 Street), which was once a mortuary, and the ARTery (9535 Jasper Avenue) which lives on the only complete and unaltered pre-World War One streetscape in Edmonton.
