Dark Metropolis places its characters at the crossroads of fate and destiny and asks the only question that matters: what are you willing to do? Born out of Outside In Theatre's Story Studio, a conservatory‐style class dedicated to studying genre and performing improvisation at the highest level, our ensemble takes

the aesthetic of a classic cyber‐noir and builds a narrative you've never seen before. No two nights are the same; the result is equal parts thrill, mystery and humanity.

The ensemble cast includes Kevin Bohleber, Jill Marie Hoffman, Qalil Ismail, Emily Kugel, Elizabeth Lanier, Megan McIver, Kevin Ocampo, Justin Michael Terry , Mike Villanueva and Danielle Weeks, with Arlo Sanders orchestrating lighting and technical improvisation.

Performances take place at Outside In Theatre at 8 p.m. on June 4, 5, 7, 11, 12 and 14. Seating is general admission and tickets are $20. Parking is available in the surrounding neighborhood.
