A Midsummer Night Scream

September 25th – November 1st, 2026

Resident Production at the Greenhouse Theater Center

"The wood always keeps what it loves."

Sam Holloway doesn’t want much. He only wanted a few days at the family lake house before Dimitri got married and walked away for good. He wanted answers about what really happened between them by the water last summer - a night Dimitri swears never occurred. But when the "Purple Pansy" moonshine starts flowing, the polished masks of high society begin to crack.

 

Unspoken lusts ignite, broken promises resurface, and a frantic playwright catches every brutal confession on tape.

 

But someone... or something....  is listening in the dark.

 

 

Out in the ancient timber, the Stag-King is waking up. And he hungers for the bloody truth.

Content Advisory: This performance contains intense horror themes and mature content. Audience discretion is advised for graphic slasher-style violence, gore, explicit body horror, physical assault, substance use, and the non-consensual outing of a character. The production also features highly immersive and disorienting technical elements, including sudden loud noises, heavy radio static, high-frequency audio distortion, atmospheric jump scares, and intense, saturated strobe lighting effects.
