You Are Invited!
Join us in Boston on Halloween for Savage WonderGround: GHOST STORY
[Note from the Artistic Director: We’ve wanted to travel to Boston for a while, given the number of talented veteran artists in the local area. To be able to build a show with so much rich material is a dream. Nick Efstathiou’s writing is jarring and shocking, but when the audience hears it juxtaposed with such stunning poems about motherhood, loneliness, violence of action, or innocence lost, it transcends what people expect from the horror genre and becomes a thrilling, unexpected journey with a truly idiosyncratic perspective. And throwing in Ben Fortier’s evocative metal riffs and Dex’s live painting, the audience is going to have a three-dimensional view of horror that lives up to their expectations. Whether it’s an unforgettable date night or a spine-tingling adventure, we wanted to make a special invite for you, our blog subscribers to join us (or just help spread the word) in New England. Can’t wait to see you there!” - CPM]

About the Show: This unique, one-night-only show, directed and curated by VetRep's Artistic Director Christopher Paul Meyer, weaves together the popular period horror writing of Army veteran Nicholas Efstathiou with poets Amy Sexauer, David Campisano, Ayman Kafel, and Benjamin Fortier - as well as Fortier’s musical riffs and Dex’s live painting - to transform a series of shocking ghost stories into thrilling, touching, and idiosyncratic explorations of horror, viewed through the eyes of artists with first-hand perspectives on mankind’s darkest moments. Audiences should expect to follow a narrative told in music, spoken word, poetry, and visual art as they journey together through three floors of hauntingly appropriate private space.
