TONIGHT @ STAGE FRIGHT 👻
Two eerie performances you won’t want to miss:

🩸 7:30 PM — SOLI-SCARE
Nick Condon dares to do the unthinkable: a fully improvised solo horror musical. Think Rocky Horror meets Little Shop meets one man against the void, with musical maestro Mel Owen. 

🧠 9:00 PM — BUBBLEGUM
In this not-for-children children’s show from Daniela Nenova, expect nostalgia, puppets, subversion, and sticky situations. It’s 1984’s Sesame Street with nuclear vibes and anarchist intent.

Tonight’s shows are deliciously deranged 🩸

🫧 7:30 – Bubblegum by Daniela Nenova
It’s 1984’s Sesame Street meets Chernobyl. Join the studio audience for a puppet-fueled descent into nostalgia, survival tips, and unhinged non-for-children TV show chaos.

🔑 9:00 – The Innkeeper by Basement Stair Collective
Lost in a storm? A mysterious inn appears. Don’t ask questions. Just… check in. You’ll laugh, you’ll shiver, and you might never leave.

Tonight’s lineup is to die for.

👻 7:30 PM – Possessive by The Unwelcome Company
A lonely shut-in summons a demon for company. What could go wrong?

9:00 PM – Double Feature:
🧠 The Surgery
A trans Synthesist attempts gender confirmation surgery… on a cis audience member.

🕵️‍♀️ Improvised Film Noir
1940s noir gets the q***r improv treatment from Butch / Femme Fatale.

Tonight @ 7:30pm: Two tales. Zero chill.

🛍️ In Scare City, haunted retail goes corporate. Think workplace comedy meets cursed inventory meets late-capitalist Halloween meltdown. Will Isaac survive orientation?

🧜‍♀️ Then in Revenge of the Attack of the Killer Sirens, Rhoda’s new girlfriend might be a siren-assassin cult recruit. Or maybe just a bad roommate. Either way, there’s definitely a body pit in the backyard.

If you missed your shot at purgatorial fine dining and ghostly ambiance the first time around — DON”T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE…  Who knows how long you’ll wait for another invitation from the afterlife?

LIMBO returns this Thursday for a limited run with tours departing from the CoHo Lobby from 6:30 – 7:15 PM.

This ten minute experience invites you to cross the border of life into a peculiar secret place. What’s going to happen there? If we told you, it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Dear Community.

It has been brought to our attention that under the extreme pressure of our high stakes life or death Think Out Loud interview for OPB earlier today, Jeff completed blanked on the entire history of horror theater, most notably the genre Grand Guiniol. . . Which is somewhat ironic, given that he directed a Grand Guiniol show FOR Stage Fright merely two years ago. This brutal erasure of a crucial cultural pillar of our festival has justifiably caused harm and sowed distrust, suspicion, paranoia, and a deep bitter resentment within THE COMMUNITY. We can feel the hungry bloodlust of THE COMMUNITY crying out to be fed, and we seek to appease it before it destroys us. As penance, Jeff promises to direct another Grand Guiniol show in the future. Please. We are listening. We are learning. We are laying unnatural eggs. 
We. Are.

Amica & Jeff

You can listen to the interview complete with this horrid faux pas at OPB.org by searching "Think Out Loud" or "Stage Fright." We'll also put the link in our bio. We have NOTHING to hide!
