Due to popular demand, Vegas Theatre Company (VTC) and Las Vegas Horror Show, LLC are bringing back the acclaimed theatrical production ABANDON for a limited run this Halloween season. Known for pushing the boundaries of live theater, ABANDON takes audiences through a harrowing exploration of the life and writings of the Marquis de Sade during his time in an asylum.
Directed by Jana Wimer, creator of the acclaimed production Urban Death, ABANDON uses wordless vignettes to deliver a chilling experience complemented by a striking original score from Hollywood composer Joseph Bishara (The Conjuring, Insidious) and sound designer Katie Halliday, Emmy-winner for Stranger Things. This unconventional horror show blends psychological terror, visual effects, and an edgy soundtrack to create an atmosphere that haunts the audience well beyond the performance.
“Las Vegas welcomed ABANDON with enthusiasm during its previous runs, showcasing a real appetite for inventive and bold theater,” said Wimer. “It’s thrilling to return with a production that resonates so deeply with the community, alongside Vegas Theatre Company, which consistently champions original and unique works.”
With performances timed for the Halloween season, ABANDON offers an intense theater experience for horror fans and thrill-seekers alike. Playing in tandem with VTC’s The House on Watch Hill, ABANDON includes both evening and late-night shows, making it a unique option for Halloween dates and fans of immersive, unconventional entertainment.
