Majestic Rep's KRAMPUS Puts A New Spin On Immersive Theatre

Majestic Repertory Theatre "celebrates" Christmas with a brand new immersive experience: KRAMPUS. Created by Artistic Director Troy Heard, KRAMPUS is a darkly comic tale inspired the European legend of Santa's evil counterpart, a horned demon who punished bad children during the holiday time.

THE STORY: You've been invited for a holiday gathering of drinks and snacks at the Krumeich's house. You know them, that nice couple down the street...Jerry and Marge. The entire family's coming together tonight: Oma's flew in from Germany, daughter Carly's home from college, and son Kevin has just arrived with his new wife...and an ancient curse. Something very dark has haunted the Krumeich family for centuries and tonight, you will help the defeat it...or succumb to it.

"The notion of a dark Christmas has become so mainstream today," says creator Troy Heard, "that it made sense to combine that aesthetic with our immersive theatre style. We're inviting 'friends' over to a house for holiday party that goes terribly wrong - and this time it's not just the family tensions at the root of the conflict, but a real tangible evil with horns."

But it's not all doom and gloom: "Krampus is a fun type of spooky, more like a holiday episode of Tales from the Crypt rather than a terrifying nightmare," reaffirmed Heard. "Audiences will be involved in Christmas games, caroling, decorating gingerbread cookies...and perhaps hear a ghost story or two."

KRAMPUS continues Majestic Rep's third season of shows, which includes the hilarious comedy THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE and the Vegas premiere of the Broadway musical SPRING AWAKENING.
