Join us for a mind blowing night of theatre featuring magic, mime, whimsy, and much more.
Thursday, October 3rd
Doors 7:00pm
Showtime 7:30pm

Welcome to Hotel Vortruba －an exquisite world of magic, circus and comedy all wrapped up in the beauty of a surrealist Hotel. Described by a fan as “a Pixar short written by Salvador Dali,” this piece of stunning, hilarious theatre is full of surprises. Items from the Hotel appear, reappear, change places, float, and have minds of their own. The proprietor, a masked eccentric, whimsically tries to keep it together as the hotel roof begins to drip. Will they catch all the drops? Will the guest make it through the night? What about the rats? Will the contract they have signed hold up when it all falls apart? Let’s find out! Come check in at Hotel Vortruba.
