About Theater in the Open – Appleton is Haunted!

Theater in the Open’s notorious haunting is coming to Appleton Farms! Join our cast of the undead for a forty-five minute walk through eerie vignettes, spooky sketches, and haunting scenes, all surrounded by the changing colors and autumn grandeur of the farm. Bring the whole family for a variety of tricks and treats, as this event is intended for all ages! Enter any time from 1-3pm and enjoy the spooky walk on the farm trails speckled with Halloween-themed songs, stories, skits and more!

Be sure to make a day of it as well, by enjoying some of our Farmhouse wood-fired pizza, which will be available 12:00 – 5:00 pm, along with local craft beer for sale. Don’t forget to visit the Farm Store on your way out!
