If you’ve never entered the Twilight Zone, now is your chance! Jack Neary’s COMEDY OF HORRORS offers three excursions into the unknown, in which three moments in normal, everyday daily life are transformed by the unexplainable, the inexplicable, the downright outrageous into something complete unexpected! With laughs! In THE AUDITION, a candidate trying out for the role of “Dracula” exhibits talent far and above community theatre expectations. In VOICE RECOGNITION, a young writer discovers why AI isn’t necessarily all that helpful. And in SILENCE, a performance of a play is…well…the less you know about this one, the better. As Mr. Serling once pronounced, “You’re traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sigh and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That’s the signpost up ahead – your next stop”…the COMEDY OF HORRORS.
