KC Horror Play Festival: Created by Erika Lynnette Baker in 2016 and joined this year by co-producer Chris M. Arnone, this collection of eight short horror plays will scare, thrill, and delight. Written by six playwrights in addition to Baker and Arnone and performed by six local actors, this show will give you all the horrific feels.

Spooky Sh!t Show: Written, directed, and produced by Derek Trautwein for the 2022 and 2024 KC Fringe Festivals, this show is all new, bigger, and coming at you with a brand new theme: 80s Night, Baby! Jan, Stan, and the gang are back with this wild mixtape of campy humor and horror.
