The Twin Cities Horror Festival and Oncoming Productions are excited to bring you something MERRY (SCARY) and BRIGHT!
Ah, the Holidays. A time for food and family and celebration... and terror! We're reviving the grand tradition of spooky stories around the Yule Hearth. So you'd better watch out, as we bring nine Twin Cities horror-makers together to each put their own theatrical spin on what truly makes this the darkest season - from the gruesomely funny to the creepily spine-tinglingly.
Here is our amazing line-up, performing every show:
Charles Dickens' "The Story of the Goblins Who Stole a Sexton"
by WET SPLAT
In the coldest time of year, there's one story that warms all our hearts. Take in Dickens' classic tale, that made a household name of Gabriel Grub!
Goodman Nicklas
by BEDHALL PRODUCTIONS
An early colonial origin story of St. Nick. A solitary figure who holds the solution to an impossible choice and a hidden salvation.
The Unloved Toy
by ROGUES GALLERY ARTS
When love is taken away, even objects remember. A Toy Story gone wrong.
Snowy, Sneeze, and Craig Form a Union
by MELANCHOLICS ANONYMOUS
Santa's elves are ready to unionize, but taking on the big man himself turns their very merry labor movement into a holiday nightmare.
Haul Out the Holly
by AETHEM THEATRE
Holly Mistletoe is a typical Christmas movie protagonist, excited for her happily ever after. But I’m not her. And I might be stuck here…forever.
Mrs. Claus's Annual Holiday Party: A Horror Play
by BRANDON MONOKIAN
A Christmas party filled with holiday cheer, murder, sugar and meth.
A Visit From St. Julian
Written and performed by ROB WARD
A gory bastardization of "A Visit from St. Nicholas" featuring family dysfunction, gruesome body horror, and spinal fluid.
SONGVERSATIONS: we have been told the light is waning
Songversations lead by Shanan Custer and Rhiannon Fiskradatz summon three of the most dreadful winter witches: Gryla, Mari and Frau. When earth stands “hard as iron” and the light disappears, where will you hide?
And gluing it all together...
The Tiny Clandestines Sing the Burton Carols
by THE WINDING SHEET OUTFIT
Don't look at the scene changes behind the curtain! The Tiny Clandestines are here to sing you to distraction! Interstitial delights! Burton Carols! Staving off demonic entities! These girls do it all!
