THIS IS NOT A CULT

THIS IS NOT A CULT

Come find out why.

For one night only, Eleon the 1st will unlock the doors to the secret Hell’s Kitchen meeting room all your friends have been whispering about for months.

Where is the entrance? Have I been here before? Who is Eleon? Why does it always sound like laughter? If you dare to peek behind the mask, and play his games, all will come to light.

Drop your cloaks at the door and enter the chamber, because This Is Not A Cult.

Created by Christopher Lewis Dawkins, THIS IS NOT A CULT is part of Theaterlab’s inaugural MELTINGPLOT festival.
