Dr. Zombie (the most terrifying horror host on 3rd Ave.) will be hosting a screening of "The Screaming Skull" He's going to bring his friend Dain "The Ghoul" GORE with him to do puppet presentations with Zombie Dave. VamPYRO will be there as well. When the movie rolls, they will be on hand to point out the scary parts of the film. Audience members will also be encouraged to share the scary parts they find in the film as well. You never know what the mad doctor will say, so this is an 18+ event. Education, live performance art, and independent cinema, these are the things that truly horrify you. We dare you to come and face the terror.

Also, be ready for a frightful sing-a-long!

Tickets are $15. We highly recommend making reservations. Dr. Zombie shows are for adults 18 and over only.

The Neighborhood is one of the longest running storytelling-based shows in AZ and we're excited to pop up at Downtown Phoenix's hidden arts & culture gem, the Great Arizona Puppet Theater on the third Sunday of the month, at 4:30pm (doors at 4:00pm).

Since 2004, The Neighborhood has featured figures from Phoenix's vibrant art, music, and culture scenes to share their real-life stories, thoughts, and musings. While audience members are welcomed into the world of the city's movers & shakers, the all-star cast of some of the best performers in the valley use everything the guest offers as inspiration for awesome improv comedy that you'll never forget. Each and every show created on the spot by The Neighborhood is a unique and funny experience that will never be repeated!

Our guest storyteller for January 18 is storyteller, improviser, and actor Michelle Cannon. Tickets range from $10 to $15 and are available online at azpuppets.org and at the door on the day of the show. Masking up is highly encouraged to help keep our immunocompromised friends safe; free masks available at the door.

The Neighborhood is produced by Jose Gonzalez for Monster Improv. Monster Improv produces shows all over Arizona and offers classes & workshops to empower people on their improv journey, whether new to the art form or experienced and striving for growth as a performer.
