One of the best things about Welcome to Night Vale has always been its ability to turn the mundane into the deeply unsettling. A local announcement about road construction can become existential horror. A weather report can become an avant-garde musical performance. A community event can involve masked killers.

So naturally, seeing this world performed live is a different experience entirely.

Cecil Baldwin returns as the iconic voice of Night Vale, joined by Symphony Sanders and Jeffrey Cranor, along with surprise guests portraying fan-favorite characters.

And because this is Night Vale, you can expect the unexpected.

The show also features special musical guest Al Olender as “The Weather,” along with live music by Disparition, whose atmospheric sound has become an essential part of the Night Vale experience.

New to Night Vale? You're Welcome Here.

If you've never listened to Welcome to Night Vale, don't worry.

Seriously.

You can come to this show.

The live performance is designed to work as a stand-alone story, so newcomers can jump right into the strange little desert town without having to binge years of podcast episodes first.

For longtime listeners, meanwhile, this is a chance to spend an evening with some familiar voices and characters while experiencing a brand-new Night Vale story.

It's creepy. It's funny. It's bizarre. And it has exactly the sort of logic—or complete lack thereof—that Night Vale fans have come to expect.

What Is Welcome to Night Vale?

For the uninitiated, Welcome to Night Vale is a twice-monthly podcast presented as community radio updates from the fictional desert town of Night Vale.

Hosted by Cecil, the show's news broadcasts cover everything from local weather and community announcements to the Sheriff's Secret Police, mysterious lights in the sky, dark hooded figures, supernatural happenings, and other things that your average small-town radio station probably wouldn't consider newsworthy.

The result is a unique combination of comedy, horror, science fiction, surrealism, and storytelling that has developed a massive and devoted following.

And now, that weird little town is coming to a theater near you.

Murder, Mystery & Night Vale

Murder Night in Blood Forest sounds like exactly the sort of evening Night Vale would approve of.

A masked murderer.

Hundreds of people celebrating corvids.

Cecil Baldwin.

Tamika Flynn.

Live music.

“The Weather.”

And absolutely no guarantee that anyone should feel safe.

If you're a Welcome to Night Vale fan, a lover of horror comedy, a podcast addict, or just someone who enjoys your live theater with a healthy dose of the bizarre, this is one show worth seeking out.

Just remember: if someone tells you not to go into the Blood Forest, there's probably a very good reason.

Then again, this is Night Vale.

You were probably going anyway.
