Wait Until Dark
October 8 - November 17, 2013
Gil Cates Theater

"Don’t let the quaint apartment of Susy and Sam Hendrix fool you; hidden within is a score for which thieves and conmen would kill. Employing disguise and deception, two newly acquainted crooks become all the more desperate and depraved, but must wait until dark to play out this classic thriller’s chilling conclusion. Frederick Knott’s play inspired the eponymous film and multiple Broadway productions earning Tony and Academy Award nominations for many of the actors involved – including the film’s star, Audrey Hepburn. This world premiere adaptation captures the suspense made famous by the previous work in a new time/setting."


Lovecraft: Nightmare Suite
Sept 27- Nov 3

The Visceral Company is proud to present the Los Angeles premiere of LOVECRAFT: NIGHTMARE SUITE, featuring six strange stories of monsters, mayhem, and cosmic horrors brought to life through a combination of storytelling, puppetry, and shadow play.

Three days of a horror convention at the lovely carpeted Marriott Burbank. Lots of booths, horror afficandos and for some reason Anime Jungle is there this year.
