THEATER OF DEATH
Theater of Death was founded in 2014 by songwriter and impresario, Joe West. Originally its home was the Engine House Theatre in Madrid, New Mexico where the company dedicated its first 7 years creating original short plays of horror and comedy in the tradition of the French Theatre du Grand Guignol. In 2021 the company left Madrid as its home base and is now producing shows wherever the opportunity presents itself but has maintained its commitment to original science fiction, horror and comedy scripts.
