Mr. Lee’s Night of Horror Opens This Friday (Oct. 6) at The Public House Theatre
FEAR WEARS MANY FACES IN THE PUBLIC HOUSE THEATRE’S LIVE HORROR SHOW
Directed by Travis Marsala
Chicago, IL (September 13th, 2017) – Superstition. Paranoia. Alienation. There are many ways to be afraid. And Halloween season is the perfect time to sit in a dark room surrounded by the things that scare you the most. Whether it’s the ghost of a woman disfigured beyond recognition, or a child’s prank taken a step too far, or a sandwich that shows you glimpses of your future, the monsters that hid under our beds will be taking the stage this October.
About Mr. Lee’s Night of Horror: Fresh off of a sold-out run of “The Best Western This Side of The Mississippi (and the other side too, we reckon)” Not Your Mother’s Baby has teamed up with other members of The Public House Theatre’s ensemble to create a sketch show that is meant to horrify and delight. In the style of “Tales from the Crypt,” “Mr. Lee’s Night of Horror” is a collection of terrifying 10-minute plays that will send chills from your spine to your funny bone. But mostly your spine.
Writers include: Craig Barnes, Sharai Bohannon, Ryan Burkett, Mark Rosenthal and Adrienne Teeley

THE PUBLIC HOUSE THEATRE: The friendliest theatre in Chicago invites you to enjoy a show or two that “puts the efforts of Saturday Night Live to shame (Chicago SunTimes),” where “The modus operandi seems to be coming up with the sort of ideas that seem brilliant when you’re smashed at 2 a.m. and then…actually making them work (The Examiner).” If you’re thirsty, take advantage of the excellent drink deals at the full bar, especially if you’re a fine whiskey or craft beer lover. With any show on any night of the week, it’s “impossible to not have a good time (TimeOut Chicago).” ThePubTheatre.com
