IT CAME FROM YOUR BRAIN! – IMPROVISED 1950S SCI-FI/HORROR

It came without warning. It came from beyond imagination. It Came From Your Brain!

It’s the 1950s. The Red Scare is in full effect. The U.S. Government is keeping us safe. And there’s nothing better than the smooth taste of a healthy cigarette. But that doesn’t stop the creeping feeling coming from behind you. Is it a scientific terror from Mars? Is it the monster that lurks from the depths of the swamps? Or could you be the terror that President Eisenhower has warned us about?

IT CAME FROM YOUR BRAIN! is an improvised sci-fi horror show that harkens back to the B-movie days of the 1950s. From Invasion of the Body Snatchers to The Thing with a dash of The Tingler for good measure, the show aims to create the ultimate immersive experience in square-jawed sci-fi acting. Each show will involve a brand new creepy crawly/giant/hair-raising monster that is created from a mix of random props and improvisers to challenge our heroes (and the audience) on if they can triumph over their terrific terror.
