A Note From Unbound ProductionsWelcome to another fun and fright-filled evening of Wicked Lit! We are thrilled to return to Mountain View Mausoleum & Cemetery for our 7th production, and our first Wicked Lit installation.

Since founding Unbound Productions in 2008, our nonprofit has grown from an annual Halloween event to a year-round theatre company with a thriving Membership base and an ever-expanding group of phenomenal artists. Those of you who were able to join us for A Night at the Mausoleum III in April, the staged reading of our first Mystery Lit play (Holmes, Sherlock, and The Consulting Detective) at the Huntington last month and our most successful Wicked Lit ever last October, have been able to enjoy the fruits of this growth. Thank you for taking the ride along with us!

We are excited to bring you a full production of Jeff G. Rack’s haunting adaptation of W. W. Jacobs’ The Monkey’s Paw (one of the first plays ever written for Wicked Lit) and a staged reading of Trey Nichols’ consuming, cerebral re-imagining of H.P. Lovecraft’s From Beyond. It is always a pleasure to welcome familiar faces back to Unbound, as well as talented new artists such as Trey and James Castle Stevens, the director of tonight’s staged reading.

Stay safe out there and enjoy the show!
