Show Descriptions:

A Grave Mistake

A Grave Mistake, A Little Bit Off’s newest show, is a choose your own adventure horror-comedy. Times are lean and these two ruffians have been running cons to get by, including faking hauntings to make a buck, but this time they may have gone too far… A spooky-funny physical theater show that puts the audience in the driver’s seat so that YOU get to decide the characters’ next moves. Botched seances, bungled grave robbing, & a ghostly curse plague these two inept swindlers. Will they get out alive, or will they make A GRAVE MISTAKE?! At each fork in the road, the audience gets to choose a path…. we hope you pick the right one. This tongue in cheek comedy blends moments of horror with hilarity, hearkening back to a bygone era and pulling from traditions of comedic horror theater such as Abbott and Costello Meet the Mummy, Burke and Hare, and the midnight ghost shows of the early 20th century.

This spoopy horror-comedy is gonna make you SCREAM! …with laughter.

Dead to Me

A parlor, teatime: Eunice is dead, Cicely has blood on her hands, and Rue claims not to have seen a thing. What really happened? Perhaps a séance will settle the question. Or perhaps the dead are better left undisturbed...
