Spookshow at the Cultural Center
Looking for some fun Halloween-y theatre? The Incurable Theater is staging the world premier of In the Curious Hold of the Demeter: Count Orlock at Sea at Studio Theater Chicago Cultural Center, 77 East Randolph St., tonight through Oct. 25.
The play, inspired by F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent film Nosferatu, was written by Jill Summers. Follow the struggles of Count Orlock as he travels by sea, stowed away on the Russian schooner "The Demeter." As he travels to a foreign land to begin life anew, his debilitating insomnia brings to life his insecurities and nightmares. The show combines puppetry, masks, live actors, shadowplay and projections to tell its darkly comic tale.
Tonight's preview performance is just $10. Friday and Saturday performances Oct. 3 through Oct. 25 are $15 (students and seniors are $10). All shows are at 7:30pm. Purchase tickets here.
