Theatre Bizarre has been the singular, must-see annual event since it launched (illegally) in the early days of the 21st century. Year after year, its creators return with a spectacular event un- like anything else on earth.

Since finding its permanent home at Detroit’s Masonic Temple, Theatre Bizarre has been of- fering progressively grander and more decadent events to those lucky enough to get a ticket. In late October each year, thousands of elaborately-clad and eager attendees fill the carved stone hallways of the labyrinthine tower as they move throughout the night from one indescribable performance to another. Detroit’s most adventurous souls slip anonymously past each other as they celebrate their darkest selves into the early hours of the morning.

Costumes are mandatory and attendees must be 21 years of age or older. The Michigan Journal/8 October 28, 2014 STUDENT LIFE Vol. XLIV, No. 8 Homecoming Week concludes with Victors Fun Night
