The Curious
by Bottle Alley Theatre Company
Dec. 05 - Dec. 06 (2016)
The Curious is an experimental theatrical piece revolving around a group of villainous paranormal investigators and their investigation of a supposed haunted house amidst a time of war. The play deals with themes of the badness within ones self, stasis, memory, and the nature of ghosts. It is also directly connected to our previous play, Wraith Radio.
Bottle Alley Theatre Company shall be holding auditions for a cast of two women and two men for our world premiere production of The Curious. This show shall be the second production in our fourth season, which is entitled Haunted
Performance dates shall take place over two weekends in March. We operate on a laid back rehearsal schedule of Tuesday and Wednesday evenings beginning in January.
Bottle Alley Theatre Company is a DIY punk theatre company, specializing in found space theatre. We have been staging strictly original work in all manner of odd places since 2012. Our work aspires to be raw, visceral, and most importantly, honest. Additionally, we believe that the rehearsal process and performances should be fun, and worth your time

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 each show. It usually winds up not being very much at all, but the profits from the show are divided and distributed equally to the performers.
