There’s just a little time left to get your tickets for the 2025 edition of a unique fundraiser, as Once Upon A Tomb takes over the Oakdale Citizens Cemetery on Saturday, Oct. 4.

It’s a night of guided walking tours of the cemetery, making stops at the gravesites of several notable Oakdale residents, with local actors and actresses bringing them to life. Cast members will perform monologues and engage with the audience at the gravesite of the person they are portraying. Each tour lasts between 45 minutes to an hour.

One hundred percent of the event proceeds benefit the Oakdale Citizens Cemetery on East J Street.

Tickets for Once Upon A Tomb – Tales From Beyond are available through Eventbrite. The guided walking tours begin at 6 p.m. and leave every half hour throughout the evening, with the last tour leaving at 9 p.m.

Returning cast members and their new characters this year include Jacob Boss as Jackson Burns, Ray Leverett as Thomas Roberts, Rudy Skultety as Frances Marion Cottle and Derick Sturke as A.J. Patterson. New cast members and their characters this year are Colleen Hawks-Pierce as Gladys Clark, Marg Jackson as Tomasa Griffith and Jozie Velasco as Annie Cottle.
