'Empanada Loca'

From the event description:

A spooky show for October! Now living deep under Manhattan in an abandoned subway tunnel with the Mole People, a very hungry Dolores recounts her years selling weed with her boyfriend, her return to Washington Heights after 13 years in prison, her fortuitous reunion with an old stoner friend who lets her give massages for cash in the basement under his empanada shop, and the bloodbath that sent her fleeing underground. Loosely inspired by the legend of Sweeney Todd, "Empanada Loca" is contemporary Grand Guignol horror in the style of Spalding Gray. 

When: Thursday, Oct. 10, 7:30 p.m.
Where: MATCH - Midtown Arts and Theater Center Houston, 3400 Main St.

Cut off from the outside world and shunned by all who know its forbidding and sinister reputation, Hill House has remained empty and silent except for the daily visits of its grumbling caretaker, Mrs. Dudley.

Their sensibilities are soon jolted by strange and eerie occurrences as they struggle to disguise their mounting fears.
