Wondergeist

A staged-and-uncaged (eek!) reading of Wondergeist by Max Keane, directed by Nick Browne.

NOTE:

• This reading is happening on the 4th floor of the Theaterlab building, in their Atelier space.
• Doors open at 7:00pm.
• There will be a short reception after the show!

Pulling from the real-life mythos of Spirit Halloween, Wondergeist conjures the horrors of late capitalism through the maladjusted souls working at a similar seasonal costume and prop store where darkness gathers ... one that pops up where struggling businesses die: the eponymous, deliciously tacky Wondergeist™.

A volatile love triangle of mourning erupts around a rare animatronic, the uber-rich CEO’s bubbly, mask-wearing daughter harbors a dark passenger, and the new guy with an intense yo-yo hobby just needs a job – any job – to keep his work visa.
