Every Halloween, the shows that we fear the most suddenly return. The infamous NCT Halloween SPOOKTACULAR raises its ugly head again on Friday and Saturday, October 31 and November 1 at 7:30 p.m. The performance features macabre send ups of our regular sketches, and features scenes and games that we haven’t practiced, and yet still charge full price. That’s how scary the show is… In addition, we have a new show debuting this year, just in time for Halloween. Thursday, October 30 will feature an improvised horror anthology. It’s an improvised series of scenes, all within a different horror genre. It’s a hilariously spooky way to spend an evening. Come join our cast as we delve into absurdity and horror.
