Welcome to Cobbs’ Carnival of Dreams, the show where over-the-hill monsters find a second chance to achieve their dreams. The premise of this show is obviously tongue-in-cheek, but I find there is an odd, sincere resonance with me. In a way, this silly little Halloween show has given me a second chance as well. When I think of all the places the Cobbs have brought me, and more importantly the amazing, kind, talented people it has allowed me to work with, it’s hard not to feel like I’m living the dream. 

If this is your first time seeing our odd little spectacle, welcome. One of the most exciting things about this show is that it is different every time, and I don’t mean in the way all live theater is. This program allows us to work with local performing artists to incorporate their talents and provide true variety. The Cobbs’ show has included singers, dancers, musicians, acrobats, jugglers, fire dancers, martial artists, stand-up comedians, improv troupes, slam poets, and more. We look forward to helping the next wave of performers showcase their talents as we head into a bright future. 

Today’s show is meant to breathe a little goofiness into Halloween events.  However, don’t let that undercut the fact that it is also a labor of love. With that in mind, I sincerely want to thank all the creative people who help put it together. I hope you enjoy and that we’ll see you again at another event.
