## About

Over Halloween weekend Warwick Mall brings puppeteer Wayne Martin to Center Mall for a gently spooky puppet show, 'Castle of Friendly Freights'. As the title suggests, the frights are friendly, which suits preschoolers and early-elementary children who want Halloween fun without real scares. There are three showtimes on Saturday, October 31 (1, 3 and 5 PM) and two on Sunday, November 1 (1 and 3 PM), so it is easy to fit a show around trick-or-treating plans. Shows take place in the open Center Mall area, so families can simply gather in front of the stage; children in costume are a natural fit.
