You don’t need to leave Maricopa for your Halloween thrills and chills.
You can find them right here at Desert Sun Performing Arts’ haunted house.
The dance school’s new, larger studio will be converted this weekend into a horrifying haunted house filled with lots of frightening fun — and some spooky monster dances.
The haunted house will be open Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m.
The cost is $5 per person and Halloween refreshments will be available for purchase.
Tickets can be purchased in advance from any DSPA Gems dancer or at the studio. Tickets may also be purchased at the door with priority entrance going to advance ticket holders.
Desert Sun Performing Arts is located at 19756 N. John Wayne Parkway, Suite 107, in the Maricopa Manor Business Center on the corner of John Wayne Parkway and Garvey Avenue.
For more information, call 520-483-8915 or visit www.desertsunperformingarts.com.
