The Spooktacular is Columbia’s first Halloween themed event of the year. Four distinctly different events are packed into three days (October 1st, 2nd, and 3rd), and all incorporate the ideals that have made Shamelessly Hot the premier provider of alternative performance arts in Columbia.

Frankenstein: A Tragi-Comic Puppet Production

Back from the Dead! After a decade long rest, the popular puppet show by Lyon Hill is being exhumed and reanimated for Shamelessly Hot this October. Staged as a side show curiosity, the show features a variety of puppet styles, live music, and a twisted sense of humor to reimagine Mary Shelley’s classic cautionary tale.

Come see the creature with no skin! Mourn the tragedy! Guffaw at the absurdity!

sh Salon/VIP Party

Friday night is the night to get your party on. Shamelessly Hot is giving you a chance to mingle with the cast of “Things That Go Bump in the Night 2” (the variety show that closes out the Spooktacular on Saturday night). And since this is Shamelessly Hot, we decided to make the VIP Party an extension of our already popular sh Salons. So you can expect to be well fed (food by 116 State) and entertained (three talents sharing with you what they do and why they love to do what they do). How can you resist partying with the ultimate in performance art, food, and drink?
