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 and July 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 20 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 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 actors (Complaint Representatives) 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!

 

Our 6/27 final performance is The Annual Complaints Dept. Gala Awards Show Spectacular! This will be a more traditional theater show with some interactive moments throughout. This show doesn’t have a moving track like the other shows. Audience members will stay seated in the 50 seat theater during the duration of the 90 minute show. Live-stream tickets for this show will be available as well.
