THE LIGHT FANTASTIC

Ike Holter's The Light Fantastic at Rec Room Arts Houston

THE LIGHT FANTASTIC

MAY 13 - JUNE 5, 2027

by IKE HOLTER
directed by SOPHIA WATT

A genre bending horror comedy where every laugh brings you one step closer to the dark.

In an unremarkable town on an uneventful evening, something truly terrible happens. An ordinary family is thrust into a desperate game of survival against forces that are anything but human. As one impossible night spirals further beyond comprehension, they discover that the only thing more dangerous than what is waiting outside their door is what they refuse to face inside it.

Funny, frightening, and wholly unpredictable, Rec Room reunites with longtime collaborator Ike Holter (Sender, Exit Strategy, Put Your House in Order) for The Light Fantastic, blending old school horror and razor sharp comedy into one unforgettable theatrical experience. In Rec Room's intimate theatre, the distance between audience and performance disappears, placing every terrifying twist just a few feet away.
