Divergent Stars Theater Company is hosting a Labyrinth-themed masquerade ball that includes live performances of music and scenes from the movie.

Theres not as much entertainment out there for adults that touched on things from our childhood, said Aimee Josephs, president of the company.

The company, which is a year old, is a branch of the Central Minnesota Theater. This particular branch, Josephs said, focuses on entertainment by and for adults, providing local actors and actresses opportunities to perform. Different branches of the theater company each have their own focus.

Re-creating the fantasy of the Labyrinth is something Josephs and her team have been working on for a few months.

Its an opportunity for people to come out and dress in their ball gowns and masks and tuxes or suits, though its not required, she said. Its fun, silly, quirky.

The team has created goblin puppets for the event and performers will be lip synching to the music and performing scenes from the movie. The actors and actresses will all be dressed as characters from the movie. There will also be movie trivia for prizes.

Im hopeful that everybody will have a little bit more fun with it, she said.

The event will be held at The Red Carpet Nightclub and Josephs said theyve upgraded the lighting systems and have been working with the lighting designer to put together a high-caliber show.

The evening will wrap with a time for guests to magic dance and art from local artists will be for sale throughout the evening on the upper floor.

Jim Hensons Labyrinth: A Masquerade Ball, begins at 8 p.m. Feb. 19, the doors open at 7:30 p.m. The show is 21 and up. A raffle will be part of evening and event-goers will receive raffle tickets with their admission. General admission is $10. VIP admission is $15, and while it costs a little more, it includes more raffle tickets for a higher-level raffle. Individual raffle tickets are $1 each. The event is open to those 21 and older.
