This fall Shadowbox presents a new theme that pays tribute to our mischievous, dark, rebellious side: Bad to the Bone, opening Thursday, September 3rd at the sketch comedy and rock ‘n' roll club located at the Easton Town Center.

Bad to the Bone will fuse original sketch comedy, video shorts, and live rock 'n' roll into one seamless, high-energy production that will take audiences to Hell and back again.

Audiences can expect to see Dr. Frankenstein and Frankenstein's Monster, Dr. Mystery and his sidekicks Vigo and the Fair Maiden, Dracula and his bride, the Wolfman, Jym Ganahl, Vinnie the Gooch, Shannon Bannister, and Cindy and Laverne, among others, on the comedy stage; and songs from Pink Floyd, Phil Collins, Annie Lennox, Santana, Pat Benatar, The Blues Brothers, Bon Jovi, Melissa Ethridge, and Incubus on the band stage.

"The material for this show is very fresh and creative," commented executive producer Steve Guyer. "With a theme like ‘Bad to the Bone' we were able to mingle the usual suspects from our comedy with some very unlikely counterparts in outrageous situations."

Bad to the Bone opens September 3 and runs every Thursday - Saturday through November 14. Tickets are $30 / $20 students and seniors. For information and to purchase reservation contact the Shadowbox Box Office at 614-416-7625 or go online to www.shadowboxcabaret.com.
