Come play, plenty of room to hoop!

Our friends Vesuviusare coming up to perform fire and Radiohiro aka Minimonk from Chicago to play some wicked beats Friday! Should be amazing. Been working all week on set design and the theatrical "haunted house" is going to be very unique. If you come Saturday tell them the codeword "BeetleJuice" for $5 off for my friends. Specially brewed Beer / Wine is free but donations appreciated to help with fundraising efforts for arts educational programs. Be great to see more of my Midwest Burner friends celebrating with us next weekend! (sorry for the late notice!)

Details are:
The Subjective Theatre Company of Des Moines (STC/DSM) is proud to present the theatrical world premiere – The End of the World!

Following the success of The Subjective Circus in May (700 attendees, over $10,000 raised), The Des Moines Social Club proudly unveils our next annual event – Subjective Halloween!

Taking place in downtown Des Moines, The Subjective Theatre Company will create a complete installation on the upper floor of an open warehouse!

“All civilizations are only seven days away from chaos.”

Famously, or infamously, spoken by Rwandan hero Paul Rusesabagina after he witnessed the local Post Master and a local University Professor beating each other over a scrap of bread during the tragedy in Rwanda, The End of the World is a terrifying attraction imagining those seven days. Operating like a Disneyworld ride, the audience will be moved throughout the attraction guided by the narrator of our story. Blending elements of theatre, film, visual art, carpentry, music and dance, the intrepid audience will witness the most frightening and visually stunning Halloween adventure of their lives!

Following the revealing journey, the audience will be treated to a world-class Halloween celebration on the bottom floor of the building. Complete with diverse bands, fire dancers, DJ’s and other Halloween performances, the celebration will continue throughout the evening. Our attendees will be able to dance and enjoy the entertainment, or go off into one of the many lounge areas set up around the space to talk, relax, network and mingle. Beer provided by Rogue and Hub City. Wine by Glazer’s Distribution.

Partnering with The Des Moines Food Bank – bring 2 canned goods and get $1 off the ticket price, or $2 off for 3 cans or more – canned goods will be used as props for the show, and donated to The Des Moines Food Bank the following day!
