Deborah Shaw and David Agro return to the Red Sandcastle in a unique theatrical event. Deceptively simple, devastatingly revealing, A.R.

25 years after it first crawled out from under your bed, Eldritch Theatre’s premier production makes its horrific return!
Having survived the ghastly terrors of adolescence in the 1980s, growing up in succubus-haunted, suburban New Bosford, poor Billy Wuthergloom, under the glaring red eyes of a Creepy Musician, gathers together a tattered collection of ghoulish puppets, and relives his horrific journey into adulthood, including his troubled relationship with his doomed best friend, Hirskill Fischmascher, an uncanny child-mystic, who could see things that other people couldn’t.
Dora award nominations for Outstanding Play, Outstanding Performer, and Outstanding Score.

When Eldritch Theatre assumed management of the Red Sandcastle Theatre, its ghoulish minions began searching for a way to alert patrons about especially noteworthy, exciting, or ground breaking productions occurring in the space.
To this end, we too are proud to introduce the “Eldritch Eye”, an icon that patrons can see on a poster or social media post and know that a particular production or rental company is Eldritch approved and deserving of your attention. It’s the equivalent of two mummified thumbs up!
Q. “Are you wheelchair accessible?”
A. We have a ramp at our Queen Street entrance, with a manual door.
We also have the ability to remove chairs to make way for wheelchairs in our audience. Our first floor unisex washroom is also wheelchair compatible.
