IVCC to stage annual Terror in the Aisles

IVCC’s annual Halloween-themed hit, “Terror in the Aisles,” takes the stage for one night only on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 7:30 p.m. in the Weeg Cultural Centre. Doors open at 7 p.m.

The haunting 2024 rendition features three original tales written by a student, a theater department faculty member and an alumnus. Capping the creepy quartet is one-act thriller set in a remote cabin in the woods, written by Texas-based writer and filmmaker Bill Fountain.

Jakielski also directs Fountain’s “Hecate Hill.”

Joining Jakielski and Bienemann in the cast are students Alex Stafford, Marseilles; Damion Oberlin, Marseilles; Hannah Rich, Mendota; Katie Monaghan, Peru; Nicholas Graham, Ottawa; Ava Laury, Ottawa; Lucas Fraga, Streator; McKenzie Bruce, Streator; Azlyn Bachman, Ottawa; Ava Horwath, Peru; Gennaro Piccolo, Spring Valley; William Bates, Spring Valley and Michael Shaw of Peru.
