Ideation
Written by: Aaron Loeb
October 12 - October 28, 2023
Thurs - Sat. at 7:30pm
When a group of corporate consultants gather to brainstorm a project for an unnamed client, it appears at first to be business as usual. But as the vast scope of the project and its sinister details are uncovered, it becomes apparent that the morally questionable problem they are tasked with solving may not be hypothetical – and could even be happening as they speak.
Winner of the Will Glickman Award for Best New Play in the Bay Area (2013), Aaron Loeb’s gripping comic thriller “Ideation” is simultaneously hilarious and deeply disturbing.

Last year’s bloody Halloween hit returns! Five college students go to an abandoned cabin in the woods and accidentally unleash an evil force that turns them all into demons. It's all up to Ash (a housewares employee turned demon-killing hero) and his trusty chainsaw to save the day. Blood flies. Limbs are dismembered. Demons tell bad jokes ... and all to music.
