About this show
Darkness.. It's where demons and monsters hide. We're told to fear it. Mothman says otherwise. Come. Join Mothman. Dance. Sing. Play. Scream into the void. Sink into the Abyss. Embrace the darkness together. This show is performed mostly in the dark, lit by Mothman's glowing red eyes. 'One of the finest, oddest experiences... Seek out the Mothman.' * (StarburstMagazine.com). Best Comedy: Edinburgh Spookies. Audience Choice: Green Bay Fringe
