DESCRIPTION:
Funhouse is recurring late-night play anthology inspired by The Twilight Zone, Black Mirror, Saturday Night Live, Mr. Show and Adult Swim. Funhouse is a collection of subversive and experimental original content. Our show serves as a rotating platform for diverse, up-and-coming playwrights, directors, actors, and designers. The creators of Funhouse want artists to take bold risks in their storytelling.
