Musical Horror Story: Exorcism at the Charnel House, Dec. 1-15

Posted : November 23rd, 2016

MUSICAL HORROR STORY : EXORCISM is a stunning, funny and terrifying new musical from the award winning creators of MUSICAL OF THE LIVING DEAD (voted Chicago Readers Best Musical). True to form, MUSICAL HORROR STORY: EXORCISM features all original music, comedy, drama and outrageous special effects culminating in an unforgettable climax.

Set in New Orleans, 1964, our story follows Reverend Mother, charged with leading the girls in her care at the Divine Lorraine Home for Wayward Girls to a life of Godliness, when a mysteriously abandoned young lady arrives late one night. The terror mounts as creepy and eerie unexplained paranormal activity begins to wreak havoc on the orderly life at the convent, resulting in a clandestine visit from a priest with a passionate past to perform an exorcism — live on stage.

Featuring Katy Campbell, Kirk Jackson, Amanda Schilling, Kayla Zaniboni and Cowardly Scarecrow Theatre Company favorite, Caitlin Jackson, this all out creepfest mashes up your favorite stories of demonic possession and blends it together and caps it all off with goofiness, goriness and a gruesome ending that is sure to leave you glad you didn’t eat pea-soup for dinner.

Directed with Book and Lyrics by Marc Lewallen and Brad Younts and music composed by Mary Spray, MUSICAL HORROR STORY: EXORCISM will be the horror fanatics perfect cure for the schmaltzy, schmoozy typical Holiday fair with its memorable mix of horror and hilarity.
