The Mystery of Irma Vep
By Charles Ludlam
October 3, 2023 – October 22, 2023
B-horror movies, classic mysteries, and campy fun come together in this feverish, supernatural, hilarious sprint. On a dark and stormy night, the howls of a werewolf echo across the grounds, a newly revived mummy stirs in its sarcophagus, and a mysterious portrait holds the key to an ancient family curse. This rollicking production will make you do a double take as the character transformations happen right before your eyes . . . with the help of a few dozen costume changes and a lot of wigs! Join us for the spooktacular Charles Ludlam comedy, The Mystery of Irma Vep.*
Estimated Run Time: 2 hours and 15 minutes (including one 15 minute intermission)
*Recommended for ages 13 and older. Contains adult humor. The listed age is a recommendation, but please use your own discretion when making a decision for your young theatergoer.
