Read moreWelcome to Night Vale invites you to open that odd looking door that just appeared in your home and enter The Attic. The Attic is Welcome to Night Vale’s brand new touring live show world premiering this fall in cities across the US.
Cecil discovers slides from an old family road trip, which at first seem fun and joyful but begin to change into something strange and dangerous. This show tells a tale of childhood memories warping through the lens of a cursed slide projection, a shapeshifting creepy doll and, of course, the “normal” dispatches from Night Vale’s community radio station.
Starring Cecil Baldwin, Symphony Sanders, and surprise guests playing fan favorite characters, the Welcome to Night Vale live show will feature a creepy slide presentation featuring original art by Jessica Hayworth, a special musical guest as “The Weather” and live music by Disparition.
The Attic explores themes of nostalgia, memory and perfection. Both fans of the show and newcomers will be able to enjoy this stand-alone performance. Tickets and info, including info about our incredible Weather artists at welcometonightvale.com/live
