The Sanderson Sisters are putting their magic to work helping the ghouls and goblins of the world with a little postmortem problem-solving! Join Let Me Be Frank Productions at the Meyer Theatre, September 25th–October 11th, for the next show in their 27th season of entertainment, sponsored by Festival Foods and Bay Bank.
Amy, Sarah and Lisa Sanderson have opened the Sanderson Sisters’ Sanitarium, where being cursed is completely acceptable and a little Hocus Pocus might be just what the doctor ordered. Their unusual list of patients includes Herman and Eddie Munster, who have developed a troubling addiction to roadkill and rabies; a mummy who’s been accused of having no heart — quite literally; a vampire with an unfortunate fear of sunlight; and Billy Butcherson, who has lost his ability to scare the undead.
When one-on-one counseling isn’t enough, the sisters bring everyone together for a supernatural group therapy session filled with hypnosis, spells and questionable medical advice. But when they break out their book of spells, there’s no telling whether their patients will leave cured — or even more mixed up than when they arrived!
Filled with classic monsters, pop-culture fun, comedy and incredible music, “Hocus Pocus Focus Group” is a delightfully twisted Halloween adventure that proves sometimes all you need is a little therapy, a little magic, and a whole lot of Hocus Pocus!
