A Traveling Performing Arts Experience Inspired by Dante's Inferno

Thursday, June 24 – Sunday, June 27, 2021

Tickets are sold via timed entry to ensure social distancing.

Inspired by Dante’s epic poem, in which the Roman poet Virgil leads Dante on a journey through the infamous circles of an afterlife place known as The Inferno. Guests to this event will experience this journey through the eyes of Dante, as they are led through a series of performing arts scenes- bearing witness (and warning) of the destiny for misspent lives.

This is a socially‐distanced walk-through performance experience created by Workhouse Performing Arts and Next Reflex Dance Collective.

This event is made possible through the generous support of our season sponsor:

HRH Foundation

Q: What if I arrive late on the night of my reservation? Can I go through at a later time?

Our team will do our best to accommodate your ticket for a later slot that same night, but cannot guarantee entry if we are sold to capacity or if the timeline is running slower than anticipated. In either case, please check with the reception team when you arrive.

Most buildings will be closed during this event, however indoor rest rooms will be available in at least one location.

Q: Will there be food and drinks?

Once you arrive, we ask that you stay within the reception/arrival area until it is time for your group to dispatch to the performance areas.

Q: Is this appropriate for kids?

While you will know your children best, this experience is best appreciated by older kids and adults. While there is no nudity or adult language, the scenes are an artistic interpretation of Dante's experience through the Inferno.
