The Campfireball: Humans vs. Holidays
Dec 12 @ 7:30 pm
Story Parlor

Just when we thought things couldn’t get any worse, here come the Holidays breathing down our necks. Sure, it starts out nice, pretty decorations, warm feelings, but all that slowly starts to crumble as we stress ourselves to the brink searching for the perfect gift, or not being able to escape our weird family, or being reminded or our fundamental loneliness. At The Campfireball: Humans vs. Holidays at Story Parlor on December 12th you finally have a chance to fight back. In this battle for the ages, the audience will go toe-to-toe with the ghosts of Christmases past, present, and future (plus all the other holidays from ‘this time of year’) in a part game-show, part existential escape room, part group therapy immersive storytelling experience. Mark your calendars, the fate of humanity depends on you.
