SiNister: A Night of Sanguine Ritual
On October 25th, join us beyond the veil for an evening of dark, ritualistic drag & burlesque acts by some of Chicago’s most twisted and talented performers. SiNister is for lovers of the macabre, the odd and occult. For those who love a heavy dose of ceremony with their cocktail, who equally love melodrama and melancholy, and who want an immersive experience that will haunt your dreams.
Show up at 7pm for your “transfusion” cocktail hour with custom drink specials. And then the danse macabre begins. Your ghostly host with the most, Noah Grey will guide you through SiNister, and it’s sanguine story of dark ritual with performances by Kat Sass, Shimmy LaRoux, Jimmie Swagger, Eva La Feva and more. Bring your fears, your fantasies and folly to an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

22 years ago, a massacre at the DeKoven Estate devastated the town of Racine, Wisconsin. A pile of bodies desecrated the bridal suite of the onsite cathedral, fresh blood profaning the holy ground. Three more corpses lay before the cathedral altar, pure silver staining their lips.
22 years ago, the townsfolk turned the basement of Taylor Hall into a morgue.
22 years ago, the townsfolk closed the gates, leaving the grounds to the ghosts.
22 years ago, DeKoven Estate was abandoned.
No living soul disturbed that soil until now. Mr. Martin VanBorsen purchased the deed, intent on transforming the grand manor into a luxury hotel despite the protestations of the townfolk.
Mr. VanBorsen invites you all to bury the past and embrace the future. The grand opening is set for 1921, and he guarantees a night to remember. Are you brave enough to face DeKoven’s bloody legacy?
