About the show:
Some team meetings feel hellish, but for the cast of The Crypt, a year-round horror attraction, the Devil might literally be in the details. Will the ensemble survive this fear fueled Private Equity buyout? Or will they be stuck in this merger of their immortal souls forever?

THE FUTURE THAT LIBERALS WANT or; Resume-Building Post-Apocalypse
A new work by Tirumari Jothi
Directed by Nikki Meñez
A celebration of what it means to be a fuck up in a over-optimized world.
Everyone wants Adamu’s perfect sperm, and he’s going to give it to them. Or so he thinks. Unfortunately, it isn’t Adamu’s baby batter that’s frozen, it’s him! Adamu wakes up hundreds of years in the future to a world run by supposably benevolent AI Robots. Adamu’s presence could ruin a future humanity on track to being its best self, or he might just save it from the horrors of perfection.

The Live Horror-Theatre Double Feature Experience Returns. One. Last. Time.
Ever wanted to yell at the scream queen to “run!” live in real time, or laugh at a campy line in good company instead of on your couch? WE GOT YOU!
AWESOME THEATRE PRESENTS:
“TERROR-RAMA 5: THE LAST FINAL CHAPTER!”
Directed by Colin Johnson
TERROR-RAMA 5: THE LAST FINAL CHAPTER! features world premiere one-act plays by J. Elliott Mendez and Anthony R. Miller.
Horror-Host Sindie Chopper returns to rewrite your revenge fantasies in blood and make you question all your life and death decisions with laughs and scares abound.
ACT 1: POR LA NOCHE (BY NIGHT) by J. Elliott Mendez
A young woman named Carolina gets herself caught by a shady Border Patrol Officer. Through her interrogation and the flashbacks that accompany them, we learn that she had made an infernal pact with an ancient evil to exact vengeance upon the system that took her family away from her.
ACT 2: KAREN VS. HELL by Anthony R. Miller
Kara, actually named Karen, stumbles upon her own dead body in the kitchen. The sardonic clerk who accompanies the body, Trevor, informs her that she is dead and, although her ticket to Hell is punched, there have been some mix-ups with her file. We follow Kara as she navigates the afterlife with her expository companion, interviewing to be a torturer, ruminating on the nature of existence and ultimately insisting on seeing the manager.

“Take that, secondary education!”
Awesome Theatre, in Association with Eclectic Box proudly presents, AWESOME HIGH, a sketch comedy play and a loving tribute to the coming-of-age teenage content which has saturated the culture since time immemorial. We will leave no stereotype unturned as we pastiche the unique and colorful world of the dated and outrageous high school drama.
Awesome High is a laugh-out-loud throwback to those teenage years we’d all love to forget, but at the same time can’t get enough of. No cliché is off limits, we hold every typical high school trope in high esteem by kicking a trench into those coming-of-age stories we all know and love. A who’s-who of Bay Area talent set out to generate a sketch comedy play set within a shared world, complete with characters, jokes, and story arcs. The show will veer seamlessly between live and pre-recorded content, careening us through the last day of school punctuated by the biggest night of the year, Promcoming.
“The kids are not alright.”
Featuring: Eriette Atanante, Andrew Chung, Lauren DePass, Laura Domingo, Missa Perron and Casey Spiegel
Production Staff: Erica Andracchio, Natalie Ashodian, Colin H. Johnson, Kenna M. Lindsay, Margaret Linn, Nikki Meñez, Anthony R. Miller, Kelli Westad, and Stephanie Whigham
“Cold-blooded b*tches need love, too.“
Clarissa and Tilly can’t help that they’re bloodthirsty sluts that turn into lizards. At least they have the city coven for sisterly support when the dating scene is rough, even though they’re running out of eligible roommates. But when a newbie joins the apartment and Tilly gets overly attached to her dinner, the head coven leader starts breathing down the two women’s necks… er, dewlaps. On top of that, Clarissa might want to be more than just gal pals with Tilly. Can Clarissa and Tilly make it in a lizard-eat-lizard world?
Featuring: Sidney McNulty, Crystal Liu, Emanuel Morales, Dom Refuerzo, Maeron Yeshiwas, and Samuel Barksdale
Production Team: Erica Andracchio, Chloe Barrs, Nic Candito, Melissa Claire, Colin Johnson, Nikki Meñez, Jacqualynn Metcalf, Matt Owens, Puja Tolton, Eteya Trinidad, Olivia Vazquez and Kelli Westad.
Hey, don’t write yourself off… yet.
Awesome Theatre is thrilled to work with Bindlestiff Studios to present a hauntingly hilarious new gothic romance / dark comedy by national treasure, Claire Rice.
What would you do if you fell in love with a hot older man and were haunted by the ghost of his past lover all while working a minimum-wage summer job at the mall? Would you let the gothic romance of it all take you down, or would you fight against fate?
Do you have what it takes to be goth enough to handle the haunting romance, the fiery passion, and the ultimate act of rebellion? Come find out as we challenge fate and explore what happens when we dare to write ourselves off.
Featuring: Janelle Aguirre, Max Seijas, Sidney McNulty, Alex Trono, and Nikki Nutterfield
