The Holiday Social Club is bringing
Monster Bash at Petite Acres
Ghost Stories, Spirits & Dancing After Dark
Friday, October 30, 2026 | 6:30–10:30 PM
Petite Acres | New Buffalo, Michigan
—
A Halloween theatrical immersive dance party experience at Petite Acres featuring an open bar, heavy appetizers, professional ghost-story, music and dance performances—
and a Monster Bash dance party.
The night before this Halloween, the spirits are gathering at Petite Acres. Your evening begins beside the bonfire with a signature cocktail in hand. Before leaving the fire, visit our vintage writing desk and put something that’s been haunting you onto paper—an old fear, a lingering regret, a grudge you’re ready to release—then cast it into the flames.
As darkness settles over the property, lantern-carrying dancers will emerge from across the lawn to guide you into Chateau Aster.
Inside, enjoy an open bar and heavy appetizers as the room transforms into the setting for an original, professionally performed evening of music, dance and ghost stories inspired by the legends and lore of Southwest Michigan. Our ghostly hosts will lead you through tales of a phantom schooner drifting through the fog of Lake Michigan, the powerful Underwater Panther said to inhabit its depths, and the mysteries surrounding Ghost Island in the Galien River Marsh.
But once the final story is told, the dead come alive.
The dancers take the floor, the music turns up and the performance erupts into a Monster Bash—beginning with “Thriller” and carrying on with dancing late into the night. Between dances, step onto the patio for a reading with one of our psychics, tarot readers or palmists.

Holiday Dinner Theatre
(We also call it Dinner & A Show!)
"The Holidays", Valentines, Spring/Easter, 4th of July, and Halloween.
We are excited to bring old world glamour vintage dinner theatre experience to Southwest Michigan communities, that takes you back to a simpler time.
You know what I am talking about, cheese and crackers and a relish tray with your cocktail . Yes…a little like the musical Holiday Inn/White Chritmas…campy…but also nostalgic, with a modern twist. Holiday Inn meets SNL, meets a Cabaret, meets a USO tour show. You never know what you are going to get. Each show is written especially for The Holiday Social Club by seasoned musical theatre comedy writers and collaborators.
You will enjoy live professional music with Chicago and New York Broadway level actors/singers/dancers doing a one of a kind show that will lift your spirits, might open your eyes, and will have you and your friends wanting to come back for more.

Get ready for a unique experience of supper and live musical entertainment
that brings out the best of six holidays throughout the year.
This season we are proud to present
along with Petite Acres five Holiday shows.
