Friday, October 23rd, 2026
08:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Havre de Grace STAR Centre
700 Congress Avenue
Havre De Grace, maryland 21078

Evil Dead: The Musical takes all the elements of the cult classic films, The Evil Dead, Evil Dead 2, and Army of Darkness and combines them for one of the craziest, funniest, and bloodiest theatrical experiences of all time. Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods, and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It’s all up to Ash (a housewares employee, turned demon-killing hero), and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes… and all to music.

Evil Dead The Musical is truly the grooviest show you will ever experience. The Oddity Engine returns to present Baltimore’s premiere annual production of Evil Dead: The Musical now in it’s 4th year at The STAR Centre. We promise more laughs, more fun, and much more blood! So what are you waiting for? JOIN US!!!!!

Evil Dead: The Musical contains the one of a kind “Splash Zone” Where you and your friends will be part of the fun as the show comes off the stage and literally into your lap.

Recommended for ages 16+ due to language, simulated violence, and adult situations.

*Please note that this event is presented by an independent organization renting our facilities. It is not a STAR Centre production, and the content does not necessarily reflect the views or opinions of the STAR Centre or its management.
