You know the rules: never read from the mysterious book, never wander into the woods alone, and definitely never book a weekend getaway in a creepy cabin. 😈

But where’s the fun in that?!

Get ready for EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL — a chainsaw-wielding, demon-raising, blood-splattering good time that proves some vacations are better left unplanned! 🪓📖🩸

The woods are calling… and something evil is waiting.

🌲🏚️ Come for the cabin. Stay for the carnage. 🩸

The theater kids are getting the bar for a night.
And frankly, we're a little concerned about what we've agreed to.
This Saturday, we're turning Arch & Column Pub into Broadway After Dark - A Broadway Rave, where show tunes take over, the microphones come out, and absolutely nobody is expected to behave like they're sitting politely in a theater.
Broadway karaoke.
An entire bar encouraged to sing along.

And a special appearance from Columbia Entertainment Company, bringing selections from Evil Dead: The Musical into the middle of our little theatrical circus.
Yes. That Evil Dead. Because apparently, we needed a little blood and dismemberment to balance out all the jazz hands.

Broadway After Dark
Saturday, October 17 | 9 PM | 21+
Bring your friends.
Bring your favorite show tunes.
And bring the confidence of someone who has absolutely no business attempting the final note of Defying Gravity.
We'll see you Saturday.

🩸 MEET THE (POSSIBLY POSSESSED) DIRECTING DUO! 🩸

Drew and Sydnee are bringing Evil Dead The Musical to life… or should we say, raising a little hell? 😈

Would you trust these two with the Necronomicon? We certainly hope so. Things are about to get groovy! 🪓💀

Happy National Dessert Day! 🍰

🕵️‍♂️Today, we are taking a cue from our favorite Drowsy Chaperone "pastry chefs" and cooking up something that is absolutely to die for.

It’s time to chop the nuts, pound the dough, and bake a massive Toledo Surprise! 🎶🧁"It's a recipe for tragedy..." if you don't treat yourself to a pastry today.

What dessert are you indulging in to celebrate? Let us know below! 👇

Happy World Teacher’s Day to all the incredible educators out there! 🍎✨

In the world of theatre, we know teachers come in all varieties. You could be a Miss Honey—filled with patience and kindness. Or, on a rough Monday morning before coffee, you might feel a tiny bit more like a Miss Trunchbull (hammer throw, anyone? 🏋️‍♀️).

No matter which vibe you are channeling, thank you for your dedication to your students. Real-life educators are the true heroes who change lives "for good"—no Chokey required!

Tag an educator or tell us who made a difference in your life through theatre! 👇

Happy International Coffee Day from Columbia Entertainment Company!

Behind every great show, unforgettable monologue, and last-minute costume change is a mountain of caffeine.

Grab a coffee, share your favorite stage memory, and get ready for our next big production.

Drop a ☕ in the comments and tell us: How many cups of coffee does it take to get you through tech week?
