A Shoggoth on the Roof?

Sounds crazy, no? But as the little village of Arkham, Massachusetts, suffers through social upheval, the townspeople struggle to maintain ancient beliefs in the face of modern pressures. In this super-sized world premiere musical parody, characters from H.P. Lovecraft's eerie cosmic fictions (such as "The Dunwich Horror", "Herbert West -- Reanimator", "At the Mountain of Madness", and "The Call of Cthulhu") find that balancing pagan rituals and 20th-century social mores is just as potentially cataclysmic as keeping a shoggoth (a prehistoric, protoplasmic creature) perched precariously on your roof. At least Tevye's enemies were human; Arkham's are omnipoTENt!

Opens Autumn 2003. And no, they're not kidding!
