Monster Party

MONSTER PARTY is an interactive play that puts guests in the center of a supernatural, sociopolitical melodrama. Set within the context of a cocktail party at the height of McCarthyism, the show sees attendees let loose inside the home of an enigmatic socialite known as The Baroness. Throughout the 2.5 hour experience, guests will have an opportunity to engage with a host of colorful characters, piecing together a lurid and gruesome narrative. Interactivity, participation in party games, and, most importantly, gossip can all be utilized as storytelling mechanics; guests are encouraged to not only engage with the performers, but with each other to help piece the story together. While participation is encouraged, MONSTER PARTY is designed for newcomers and seasoned immersive theatre attendees alike, allowing everyone to engage with the narrative at their own pace. Guests can dive in and engage with the material directly, or simply enjoy a libation while watching a zany, absurdist narrative unfold around them. Ultimately, MONSTER PARTY is a fable about how the systems we exist in – Western Christianity, capitalism, patriarchy, warmongering – turn us into monsters, terrorizing one another while those in power benefit.
