House on Haunted Hill with Ashley Ghastly

It’s spooky season! Join us for a screening of the Vincent Price classic House on Haunted Hill, hosted by real-life television horror host Ashley Ghastly.


Know Theatre’s Play(under)Ground (or PuG, for short) is a season-long, rolling series of events following MainStage programming in our Underground bar and cabaret space.

It allows artists another opportunity to experiment, create, and play at Know Theatre, while getting paid to do so.

It gives audiences more opportunities to connect with the work of local artists.

And it allows the Know to continue to grow our artistic community, foster connections, and encourage diverse voices.

You’re getting more PLAY each play, so join us whether you’re seeing the show or not!

Doors open just after curtain falls, so start times vary.  The PuG schedule is announced on a rolling basis as events are confirmed.
