FOUR DARK DOORS: A Horror Thriller Stage Anthology

About this event

FOUR DARK DOORS is an original horror/thriller theatre festival featuring four original one-act plays by local playwrights. Each story offers a different journey into the unsettling, the suspenseful, and the unknown… all performed together in one immersive evening of live theatre. At the end of the performance, the audience will vote for the story they most want to see continue. The winning playwright will receive the opportunity to develop and produce a full-length work as part of our 2027 season! Four Dark Doors is proudly presented by Somewhere In Time Productions in partnership with the Ray Manfredi Allstate Community Theatre.
