A HAUNTING REVUE II Will Bring Sci-Fi Horror Stories to Hollywood Fringe Festival

Visit a museum with artwork that gets under your skin - and watch original stories told in that spirit with A Haunting Revue II, opening June 6, 2026 at the Hollywood Fringe Festival for five performances at Impro Theatre, 1727 N. Vermont Ave., Los Angeles. Performances will run June 6-26.

An artist introduces three paintings of his, and the respective sci-fi/horror story symbolized by each one. Birds of a Feather asks the question, "What if E.T. and Elliot were combined into one humanoid alien who then had 20 years of sibling rivalry with Michael and Gertie?" Also the question, "How would it have affected Randall's relationship with Kevin and Kate if he were an extraterrestrial instead of an African-American?" These three characters - brother Hunter, alien Zanzie, and sister Daisy - find their dysfunction has its roots less in their having different home planets than in their having the same parents.

The Lateness of the Hours features a middle-aged man named Bart who has seemingly done nothing right with his life except mentoring a little boy named Pete to whom he, as a teenager, became a "Big Brother". Pete has gone on to a fabulous life while Bart constantly struggles, even having a falling out with his "Little Brother". Bart cryptically asks Pete to meet him, for the first time in five years, at a diner on Christmas Eve. Why?
