Coming to Denver Fringe Festival 2026:
You have been invited to a dance party hosted by the charming and eccentric Charlie Suydam. Rumor has spread that his family has cut him off from their cash flow due to his recent fascinations with the occult. But all he wants is for everyone to have a good time; to dance and forget their troubles. Be transported away from your worries. But whatever you do, don’t open the doors once the party starts…
CONTENT WARNING: This is an immersive show where some audience may be asked to participate, you may of course decline, but we encourage people to come curious, ready to play, interact, and dance. There will be flashing lights, possible gore, depictions of the occult, and dancing.
Tickets available NOW!
