Current Productions

Immerse yourself into the world of The Creeps where five dark, creepy, and shockingly funny characters confront the shadowy depths of the human psyche, delving into macabre themes of fear, desire, and the unknown.

Without a doubt, ‘The Creeps’ lives up to its name. Written and performed by Catherine Waller, the show tells the story of a bizarre group of malformed misfits living and surviving in a derelict building lorded over by a mysterious, oppressive doctor. With the audience encouraged to participate, Ms. Waller’s freak show is a strange and ghoulish journey into the surreal and the absurd.” — All About Solo

The Creeps have crawled to the surface once again playing Off-Broadway at Playhouse 46 at St. Lukes after award-winning runs at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Hollywood Fringe Festival, and United Solo Festival.
