A Midsummer Night Scream at The Greenhouse Theater

“The course of true love never did run smooth—out here, it doesn't get to run at all.”

Sam Holloway doesn’t want much. He only wanted a few days at the family lake house before Dimitri got married and walked away for good. He wanted answers about what really happened between them by the water last summer - a night Dimitri swears never occurred. But when the "Purple Pansy" moonshine starts flowing, the polished masks of high society begin to crack.

Unspoken lusts ignite, broken promises resurface, and a frantic playwright catches every brutal confession on tape.

But someone... or something.... is listening in the dark.

Out in the ancient timber, the Stag-King is waking up. And he hungers for the bloody truth.

Set in 1987 in a deep Catskill hemlock grove, five college friends gather at an isolated cabin for a pre-wedding weekend. Instead of a wild summer getaway, local moonshine, buried secrets, and an unexpected act of violence spill blood onto the ancient forest floor. Inadvertently awakening a vengeful pagan deity trapped in the brush, these friends are plunged into a hallucinatory, high-sensory nightmare where the laws of nature bend, and a monstrous entity begins a brutal hunt. To survive the night, they must strip away their curated masks and face both the woods and each other.

Combining physical combat, immersive soundscapes, and vintage creature design, A Midsummer Night Scream explores love, jealousy, and the terrifying cost of human folly in the dark woods.
