The Mystery of Irma Vep

Written by

From the drawing room of an English estate to the blazing sands of far-off Egypt, this definitive spoof of gothic melodramas is a quick change marathon that has everything: laughs, scares, satire, a sympathetic werewolf, a vampire, and an Egyptian princess who may be brought back from the dead!

Murder Mystery Machine

Written by

The Funhouse Lounge is proud to present the return of a Halloween favorite: Murder Mystery Machine, where each night the cast bring a never-before-seen slasher film to life, improvised live on stage, and investigated by the Scooby Doo gang.

Come and see the Funhouse Lounge Improv Company craft a classic bloody murder mystery based on suggestions from the audience.
As a crazed murderer runs rampant, the locals live in terror. But when the Scooby Gang is around, crimes don’t go unsolved! Those favorite Saturday morning sleuths of Mystery Inc., portrayed in delightfully non-traditional fashion by the talented actors of the Funhouse Lounge, will be there to make sure the guilty face justice.

Investigating the crime while the murderer runs free, you’ll see our gang puzzle over clues, jump to conclusions, chase monsters, and gobble up Scooby snacks. Zoinks! It’s a real creepy Halloween-time treat for all.

Run time: this show runs approximately 1.5 hours, with a 10-minute intermission. 

All showtimes are at  7:00 pm. Doors will open at 6:30–please allow ample time to find street parking and be seated before the show begins.

Rated R.

Under the Influence

Written by

(mature audiences)

In 2015 we created what was intended to be a workshop (9 performances over two weekends) of a new serial musical by Broadway lyricist Ernie Lijoi. However, we soon learned we had a successful show on our hands that would go on to win the 2015 Drammy Awards for Best Original Score and Best Actor in a Musical. So, we’ve “Trumped” it up, added some new faces, streamlined the designs, and we are proud to present Under the Influence: All Trumped Up.

An unapologetically feminist, irreverent musical that tackles the influences that surround all of us by examining our hero, Anita: Anita Drink, Anita Smoke, Anita Cup, whichever Anita she is that day. Whether it’s Juan Valdez pushing us caffeine, Barbie giving us body issues, some cartoon character pushing nicotine, or our local bartender sliding us another drink, we’re all under the influence of something… yes, even Jesus.

Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 at the door.

Written by Ernie Lijoi
with additional music by Kevin Laursen and Lawrence Rush
Directed, Choreogrpahed and Designed by Rusty Tennant and Sara Fay Goldman
Musical Direction by Matt Insley
