“Sometimes we all go a little crazy”

This Saturday night New Vintage Theatre’s soap opera AS THE SUN BURNS presents their own version of Psycho as a fun murder mystery at The Black Box called Bates Motel.

Major movie star Janet Leaves (played by Guest Star Elana Bizovie) is in K-Town and heap of financial trouble. She wants to start a new life so she decides to rip off her agent, leaving the precarious life of a starlet behind. After driving through the pouring rain, she comes upon the shabby, mysterious Bates Motel and a beckoning, blinking vacancy sign. Throughout the night she will encounter an unusual Hallowe’en party, mother and son, detective team, her agent, sister, creepy clown and, yes, a killer.

Patrons at AS THE SUN BURNS-Bates Motel episode will be invited to guess the killer to win prizes, trick or treat with the soap stars at intermission, get their photos taken at the Haunted Photo booth and stay and dance with DJ Corney at a post-show Monster’s Ball.  AS THE SUN BURNS stars Joseph Otoo, Brock Gratz, Adam Weaver, Reid Gratz, David Gadd, Victoria Weaver, Hilary Omoe, Sharon Estephan, and Artistic Director Bonnie Gratz will all be starring in this episode.  Tickets are just $15 in advance from www.selectyourtickets.com or $25 at the door.
