Four acts. One descent.
The four fears
Every nightmare starts somewhere.
Which one follows you home?
Fear of the dark
That childhood feeling: something is hiding just beyond what you can see. Creatures appear and disappear as the stage falls into shadow.
Fear of losing your mind
Reality begins to fracture. Our Crash Test Dummy characters pull you into a world that is chaotic, unpredictable and completely out of control.
Fear of surveillance
Watched. Tracked. Never truly alone. Unnerving AI robots march through the audience. Suddenly, the feeling of being monitored is all around you.
Not a maze. Not a movie.
A nightmare performed live.
Nightmare Alive! is a seated theatrical production built from dance, character work, music, lighting and audience-level surprises. You will watch the story unfold on stage, but the world of the show reaches beyond the proscenium.
Both performances present the same complete production. Seating is general admission and doors open 30 minutes before curtain.
