Imagine stepping into a world where the familiar thrills of Halloween meet the enchanting art of dance. The Carolina Ballet Theatre, Greenville’s own Professional Ballet Company, invites you to experience Nightmare at the Museum, an electrifying performance like no other, where iconic villains from our favorite stories break free from their waxen prisons and take the stage by storm.
Through the mesmerizing choreography and the vibrant beats of classic rock and pop legends—think of the moonwalking grooves of Michael Jackson, the edgy riffs of Guns N’ Roses, and the anthemic choruses of Journey and other new surpises—you’ll be captivated by the dark and allure of these characters.
This isn’t just a show; it’s an immersive journey that promises to thrill and chill, diving deep into the shadows while celebrating the artistry of dance. It’s the perfect way to get into the Halloween spirit, mixing spine-tingling performances with unforgettable music.

Costumes encouraged. Open to children up to 10-years-of-age. To Season Subscribers we offer no cost for this event.

For over a decade, Lindsey Stirling has enchanted audiences across the globe by performing a certain spellbinding magic with her electronic violin, dreaming up an exquisitely composed yet boldly inventive sound entirely her own. On her new album Snow Waltz, the classically trained musician/songwriter/dancer/author finds herself fully in her element, sharing a selection of holiday classics and original songs that evoke intense emotion through her immersive arrangements and mesmerizing melodies. The follow-up to her debut holiday album Warmer in the Winter—a 2017 release whose hit single “Carol of the Bells” made history as the only instrumental song ever to reach the Top 10 at AC Radio—Snow Waltz emerges as a singular new entry in the holiday-music canon, once again proving Stirling’s extraordinary gift as an instrumental storyteller.
