Flying Anvil Theatre presents a streamed horror play at The Mill & Mine in a socially distant premiere.

Flying Anvil Theatre presents The Deadline, a new play for Halloween, described as “The Blair Witch Project Meets War of the Worlds. .. on a Video Call” in a socially distanced premiere screening on October 29th at The Mill & Mine. The Deadline can also be streamed from October 29-31 at 7:30 each night.

The Mill & Mine has hosted “Pod Events” since September, and Flying Anvil hopped on the opportunity to create an event that would bring their halloween performance to the “big screen” while keeping everyone’s health and safety in mind. With ample amounts of indoor and outdoor space, audience members purchase a “pod” which is distanced from all other pods. They can order food and drinks on a special menu from Tako Taco via a QR code at their table, and everything is delivered straight to their space. Masks are strictly enforced, enhanced cleaning measures are in place, and capacity is limited so everyone feels comfortable.

Creating a way to present safe theatre has been a part of Flying Anvil since the beginning of the pandemic. Keeping audience members safe and comfortable is only one of the challenges. Making sure actors, designers, and technicians chances are also kept at a low risk of exposure of the Coronavirus is also paramount.

Artistic Director, Jayne Morgan, wrote this new horror play after the success of her first virtual play Branching Out.
The Deadline is being shown on screen at The Mill & Mine for $15 a person, or may be watched on any computer or cellphone and be cast to a TV. A streaming pass for the show is $20, and an email containing a link to the show will be received after ticket purchase.
