SCARE CITY
Isaac thinks he's just begun his dream job — working at the Halloween superstore, Scare City. His co-worker Aria isn't as thrilled to be there. Then, he discovers that the items they sell at Scare City just might actually be supernatural.
He and his new co-workers fight this supernatural power, and afterward, everyone else is real chill about it. As the series goes on, Isaac will start to uncover the darker truth behind (or below) Scare City — all while using SEL skills to fend off demonic Halloween products come to life.
REVENGE OF THE ATTACK OF THE KILLER SIRENS
Descend into the murky waters that blur the lines between romance, violence, and fascist rhetoric and watch one Rhoda Strong as she discovers there’s something terribly, terribly, wrong in this house- and it just might be herself. A play about fighting for your monstrous heart with knives and teeth, Revenge of the Attack of the Killer Sirens flips Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth on its head and invites you to follow us into the dark.
