SAW The Musical (Saturday, October 19, 7:30 PM)
One of the most thought-provoking horror films of all time now is a musical. SAW The Musical hilariously captures the events of the first movie, parodying the Saw that started it all following from where Lawrence Gordon and Adam Stanheight find each other for the first time in the bathroom trap. Will they follow "the rules" as they discover each other's secrets? [Parental Advisory: Explicit Content]
SAW The Musical The Unauthorized Parody of Saw began performances Off-Broadway at The AMT Theater on September 16, 2023, with a New York opening night on Sunday, October 1, 2023. The Musical's Out-of-Town Tryout ran in Philadelphia, PA, at The Adrienne Theater in Center City in October 2022. The National Tour began in February 2024 and is running now across North America!

The Lost Boys (Thursday, October 24, 7:30 PM)
Teenage brothers Michael (Jason Patric) and Sam (Corey Haim) move with their mother (Dianne Wiest) to a small town in northern California. While the younger Sam meets a pair of kindred spirits in geeky comic-book nerds Edward (Corey Feldman) and Alan (Jamison Newlander), the angst-ridden Michael soon falls for Star (Jami Gertz) — who turns out to be in thrall to David (Kiefer Sutherland), leader of a local gang of vampires. Sam and his new friends must save Michael and Star from the undead.

After investigating the phenomenon, Nancy (Heather Langenkamp) begins to suspect that a dark secret kept by her and her friends' parents may be the key to unraveling the mystery, but can Nancy and her boyfriend Glen (Johnny Depp) solve the puzzle before it's too late?
