Next Friday, June 24, the team behind the hit podcast series Welcome to Night Vale brings its live show, The Haunting of Night Vale, to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) in Newark, New Jersey.

According to The New York Times, “the news out of Night Vale sounds like what might occur if Stephen King or David Lynch was a guest producer at your local Public Radio Station.” The arts and culture magazine Vulture called it “the foundational institution of the fiction-podcast genre.”

The show at NJPAC is the last performance of a monthslong US tour, and it’s happening just a week after Welcome to Night Vale’s tenth anniversary.

We have some unfinished business that haunts us and now we want it to haunt you…

The Haunting of Night Vale, starring Cecil Baldwin, Symphony Sanders, Kate Jones and featuring original music by Disparition will return to njpac on Friday, June 24.

Cecil and Carlos are building a new house for themselves, but strange occurrences and ghostly encounters are plaguing the construction process. It’s probably nothing. After all, how could a house be haunted before it’s even done being built?

This story will never be told on the podcast, plus, our live shows bring the audience into the story in surprising and thrilling ways. It’s a unique experience that you can’t get from listening to the podcast at home! This live show is entirely stand-alone, so bring a friend and introduce them to the town of Night Vale, too.

In order to ensure the health and safety of the audience and performers the Welcome to Night Vale tour is requiring proof of vaccine or a negative covid test (48 hours old max.) in order to attend this event. Wearing a mask will be mandatory
