ABOUT

The Creepy Crawlers: Shock Theatre LIVE!

Shock Theatre LIVE! is an immersive, multimedia rock-and-roll theater production created by The Creepy Crawlers, premiering in May 2026 at the PNC Arts Annex as part of the Dayton Live Emerging Artists Series.

Blending live music, theatrical storytelling, video projection, and dark humor, the show follows five youth characters navigating identity, belonging, and self-expression through the lens of alternative and horror culture. The production reimagines a concert as a narrative theatrical event, intentionally blurring the line between audience and performers.

The project is supported by an Emerging Artists grant, professional venue staff, and marketing support. It engages youth performers, local artists, volunteers, and technicians, creating a collaborative, community-rooted production with significant local press potential.

Shock Theatre LIVE! is designed not only as a single performance event, but as a scalable, repeatable theatrical property suitable for future runs, touring, and expanded development.
