Please note that our sister experience, COMPLAINT APPOINTMENTS WITH THE SUPERVISOR (A COMPLAINTS DEPT. 1-ON-1 ADVENTURE), will be happening throughout the month of June in tandem with our Hobgoblin Playhouse Complaints Dept. shows. These private one-on-one complaint sessions are for 1-2 audience members (in the same party) to experience at a time. Your performance will begin at the meeting point sent out where The Supervisor will then escort you to his Top Secret Undisclosed “Temp Office” location! Book your personalized 30 minute appointment with The Supervisor today! More info: www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/10867

Please be aware that our Hobgoblin 6/9, 6/16, 6/22 & 6/23 performances are timed entry 1 hour walkthrough style shows. There are 3 available start times per show day that you can choose from to embark on your Complaints Dept. Adventure with an audience group of up to 15 people. If there are no tickets left for a particular showtime, then that entry time/group is full. These performances are immersive, interactive and require audience members to walk at a brisk pace around the entire venue of The Hobgoblin Playhouse on a moving narrative track similar to the manner in which you’d move through a haunted house. You will be interacting with various Complaints Dept. “staff members” stationed around the venue as you journey through The Complaints Dept. Universe. Please take note of your specific ticket time as that is when you will need to arrive in order to begin your experience! Plan to arrive at least 5 minutes early!

Our 6/27 final performance is The ∞ Annual The Complaints Dept. Presents: THE COMPLAINTS DEPT. AWARDS SHOW GALA SPECTACULAR! This will be a traditional theater show satirizing the format of The Oscar’s where we will award EVERY SINGLE Hollywood Fringe show happening this year!! This show doesn’t have a moving audience track like the other shows. Audience members will stay seated in the 50 seat theater during the duration of this 90 minute variety show extravaganza. Live-stream tickets for this show will be available as well.
