When sex, drugs, and rock & roll convene, how do you make it out famous and alive? Billed as a late-night theatrical experience, Club 27 invites audiences into a "liminal rock & roll nightmare," blending immersive theater, live music, and cabaret performance into a 75-minute exploration of fame, legacy, and artistic ambition.

The production centers on a nameless host who guides audiences through the infamous Club 27, the cultural shorthand for legendary musicians whose lives ended at age 27. Throughout the evening, the host navigates a series of tense and enigmatic exchanges with her pianist while confronting questions surrounding celebrity, mortality, addiction, and artistic identity.

Written by Maeve Z. O'Connor, the piece is adapted from a series of interviews with nightlife personality Faith Pasch. The production features new musical arrangements by Gabriel Greenwood, reimagining songs associated with members of the Club 27 canon, including Janis Joplin , Amy Winehouse , Jimi Hendrix , Kurt Cobain, and other iconic artists whose lives were cut short.

The production is directed by Kara Alexandra and aims to create an immersive, nightclub-inspired atmosphere through a design focused on sensory storytelling.

The creative team includes Sara Hansen (Lighting Design), Dot Scuotto (Sound Design), and Parker Jenkins (Stage Manager).

July 16 – August 9, 2026
