Daphne and Ralph are young classics professors who have just made a discovery that’s sure to turn them into academic superstars. But something goes disastrously wrong and Daphne cries out in panic, “Save me, gods of ancient Greece”!!… and the gods actually appear!

THE NIGHTMAN COMETH Runs Oct. 18-27

THE NIGHTMAN COMETH: The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia Tribute Musical
Xenia Area Community Theatre

[Xenia]

Directed by John Detty

Cast: Ty Smith as Charlie, Jake Spicer as Dennis, Madison Stapleton as Dee, John Detty as Mack, Jessica Detty as Frank, Misty White as Artemis, TBA as The Waitress & TBA as Gladys

Based on the episode of the same name, The Nightman Cometh is a one-act musical comedy originally performed by the cast of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”

When Charlie writes a musical based on his song “Nightman,” it is up to the gang to help Charlie stage his show and figure out why exactly he wrote it in the first place. After all, nobody writes a musical for no reason…

“The Nightman Cometh” is a hard rated R live show that contains strong language, adult themes, threats of violence, strong sexual situations, fake firearms, and other content not suited for children.
