Set in a small, remote pub in rural Ireland, three local men gather one night to share their usual gossip, lies, and a pint or two. On this particular evening, their close-knit group is joined by a newcomer to the area. As the night becomes dark and stormy, their stories take the same path, following the rural Irish tradition of faeries and folklore. The tables are soon turned, however, when Valerie the newcomer, tells a tragic tale of her own…

We’re literally underground — in the basement of Chrysler Hall.

Scope Garage Parking — Drive into the Scope Parking Garage, stay to the right and drive down the ramp to the bottom level (U), following the Generic Theater signs around the perimeter (past the exit ramp) until you reach the underground theater entrance inside the garage.

Chrysler Corner Stairwells — Starting from the fountain plaza on the west side of the building, approach the Chrysler Hall Box Office and  enter via one of the red corner doors flanking the ticketing windows (see arrows in picture), walk down the stairs to the bottom level, and follow the Generic Theater signs through the garage to the underground theater entrance.

Buy early and save! Tickets can be ordered online, with discounts for advance purchases, groups of 10+, military, senior, and student patrons. Tickets can also be purchased in-person beginning 1 hour before performances at our underground theater box office. Come out and see a show!

We’re holding joint auditions for The Viewing Room & Indecent on Monday, December 11th & Tuesday, December 12th from 7–9:30 pm.
