Unless you’ve been living in a cave, you know that Halloween is right around the corner. But then again, if you’ve been living in a cave, every night is fit for batty behavior, and next weekend is no exception!

The Tacoma City Ballet brings you “Hallowed Dances Oct. 26 and 27 at the Pantages Theater.  The scenes have scary titles such as “The Dead Summer’s Soul,” “No Bones About It,” and Girls At The Gates.”  Nice.

The Weekly Volcano will scare up a story on the performance in next week’s issue.  Here are a few shots I snapped last night at their rehearsal. â€" Jessica Corey Butler
