TERROR-RAMA, a Horror Theatre Double Feature, is a new-play incubator that commissions two new horror-themed plays every two years. Each pair of plays goes through a year of development including readings, dramaturgical meetings, and writing workshops, leading up to a public reading/fundraiser. Then another year of revision and workshops culminates in a fully staged production, usually mounted in October for maximum Halloween-y goodness!
TERROR-RAMA III: DEAD THE WHOLE TIME
In October 2018, at PianoFight, the Horror-Theatre Double Feature finishes the trilogy with TERROR-RAMA 3: DEAD THE WHOLE TIME.
Featuring two brand new horror plays, “The Suffered” written by our own Artistic Director Colin Johnson , and “My Cannibal Summer” by our Artist in Residence, Claire Rice. The show will be hosted once again by our own Sindie Chopper!
The shows debut in 2018 but as always, we want YOU to be part of the development process. October 16, 2017 will be our fundraiser and developmental reading at Pianofight! Come help us raise money, cone be the first to see what we have planned for the newest installment of our horror anthology!
