Macabre, AZ

Through the vehicle of true crime and spine-chilling Arizona lore, this presentation highlights macabre stories and their historical background, including the tale of Winnie Ruth Judd, Arizona’s most infamous murderer, and the tale of the Red Ghost and the release into the wild desert of unknown animals (today, we know them as camels). Shore uses a blend of storytelling magic, old photographs, ephemera, and artifacts to bring our state’s heritage to life in this entertaining and educational presentation. The audience will leave with a unique perspective of Arizona.
