Gay Travel Information: Blood Rose Rising – A Live Action Super Natural Series! Somerville, MA
Blood Rose Rising is a radically new idea in theatrical entertainment. It’s a live-action, supernatural series. Each episode is a complete entertainment experience in itself, but with developing characters and a story arc that progresses from episode to episode toward a thrilling seasonal climax. It’s a full evening out – the show takes place in a dynamic night club environment, with live music, magic, food, drink, and a vibrant party atmosphere.
Blood Rose Rising will open with its Pilot Episode, “Immaterial Girl” at the new Davis Square Theater, on February 17th, 2012, in partnership with Saloon, the vibrant new bar right in the same building, which will be providing the food and beverage service. With cast members, Calvin Braxton, Andrew Cromartie, Poornima Kirby, Casey Preston, Aimee Rose Ranger, Dakota Shepard, Victor Shopov and Robert St. Laurence, and live music by local bands including indy sensation Alchemilla, it promises many evenings of vivid, high-powered entertainment. New episodes will follow every month or so, so you can keep coming back for more!
Created by Ben Evett, and co-written by local Boston phenom Steve Barkhimer, the show is a romantic ghost story that explores our longing for connection with life and control over death, and the mysterious triangle that exists between spirituality, science and illusion. But it’s not all darkness and metaphysics. It’s an adventure story – wild, witty, shocking, and just plain fun.
