Apocalypse
by Bottle Alley Theatre Company

Jul. 24 - Jul. 25 (2017)

Apocalypse is a site-specific and immersive theatrical piece revolving around the remaining members of a coven of witches and their relationship with the devil, the end of the world, and with each other. The play deals with themes of myth, storytelling, and stasis. It is somewhat loosely connected to two previous plays in our season, Wraith Radio and The Curious.

We firmly believe that all artists should be paid to do the thing that they love and therefore our performers are paid, and will always be paid, a small stipend upon the conclusion of the run. It usually not winds up being very much, but the ticket sales are divided equally amongst the performers.
