Description

SHOCK THEATRE LIVE is a multimedia rock and roll theater piece that follows five misfit kids as they attend a concert by their favorite band, The Creepy Crawlers. Along the way, they share their struggles, their dreams, and ultimately discover that they’re not alone, and by the end of the show, they don’t just meet the band… they become them! The show is about finding your place in a complicated world, and how so-called “freaks” or “horror kids” aren’t broken, they’re just expressing truth through a different lens. It’s loud, funny, heartfelt, and a love letter to all the outsiders trying to belong.
