The show takes place at 7:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. this Friday and Saturday at 1187 N. High St. Dressing up as your favorite character, throwing cards, shouting your favorite callbacks and doing the “time warp” are all encouraged.

Read
Reverie by Ryan La Sala is a wildly imaginative story about what happens when the secret worlds that people hide within themselves come to light. Kane Montgomery can't remember anything since the police found him half-dead in the river a few weeks ago, all he knows is that the world feels different. He doesn't know what to believe or who to trust, but as he and three of his classmates are dragged into unimaginable worlds that materialize out of nowhere, Kane realizes that nothing is happening by accident and only he can stop their town from unraveling.
“Ryan La Sala's debut is effervescent. Reverie is unlike anything I've read,” says Zoraida Córdova, award-winning author of Labyrinth Lost.
