  • It's Coming From Inside the House by Kevin Blair and Brandon Wright

    Inside our haunted house, the walls ooze secrets of the future, detain monsters in our minds, and store forgotten favorites. An experimental jaunt from room-to-room will discover new horrors and bring us from sci-fi to comedy, and back to horror, in one night! Join Microdose Theatre Project for an evening of four short plays written by emerging Chicago playwrights that will make you jump in your seat, and terrified to answer the phone while home alone.

  • The Perfect Team by Henry Allan

    Dead for ten years, the spirit of legendary Broadway composer Jacob Lewis lingers in the mortal world, unable to rest until he completes one last story. He strikes a deal with Hugo Andrews, a young composer crippled by writer's block: in exchange for using Hugo's body to complete his final masterpiece, Jacob will help revive Hugo's creative brain. However, their uneasy alliance unravels when someone from Jacob's past reappears, disrupting the plan and wreaking havoc on Hugo's life. As tensions rise, the two must face the consequences of their pact before it's too late for Hugo.
