From Cory Howard, creator of The Campfireball reverse-storytelling show, The Dead Man is a one-of-a-kind live experience that works in collaboration with the audience to create, from thin air, a story about what it means to be alive. Interactive, yes, but introvert friendly, The Dead Man is filled with spontaneous real life stories, imaginative plot twists, and authentic human to human connection (with just a pinch of dark humor), plus a few other surprises. Part of the Charlotte Strange Fest, and paired with Joy Scott’s Gangsta Plants, this is a live performance event that literally will be like no other.

Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Book and Best Original Score, The Drowsy Chaperone is a loving send-up of the Golden Age musical, featuring one show-stopping song and dance number after another. With the houselights down, a man in a chair appears on stage and puts on his favorite record: the cast recording of a fictitious 1928 musical. The recording comes to life and The Drowsy Chaperone begins as the man in the chair looks on. Mix in two lovers on the eve of their wedding, a bumbling best man, a desperate theatre producer, a not-so-bright hostess, two gangsters posing as pastry chefs, a misguided Don Juan and an intoxicated chaperone, and you have the ingredients for an evening of madcap delight.
