Five friends travel to a cabin in the woods looking to have a fun getaway from the bustle of daily lives and relax. Everything is perfect – a beautiful lake nearby, picturesque views... and a large wooden chest with chains and a padlock on it in the middle of the living room with the inscription "Death is Certain, Life is Not." What more could you ask for? Soon a torrential storm hits, leading a sixth person to enter the cabin for shelter. Do you attempt to leave? Do you open the chest? And when you’re asked to feed the chest, would you?

Find out what happens and who survives the vacation in this thrilling new horror by local playwright Martin W. Prevost, presented publicly for the first time in this staged reading. The show will be followed by a talkback with the author and cast, where audience members can ask questions and share their thoughts about the show.

*This show is free to the public with open seating, made possible by a grant from the American Rescue Plan Act. No tickets are required for entry, and voluntary donations can be given to support the theater.
