MONSTERS OF THE VILLA DIODATI 

Directed by Matt Conner 

Music Direction by Garrett Jones

October 8 - November 1, 2026

While a storm was brewing outside their villa on Lake Geneva, the famous writers inside entertained one another with ghost stories. Lord Byron, their host, offered a challenge: produce the perfect tale of terror before the night ends. Conner and Smith's electrifying musical first premiered in 2016 to critical acclaim. Monsters explores the nature of creativity itself, and reveals to us the inner demons that materialized in two of the most iconic monsters in Gothic literature: John Polidori's The Vampyre and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein.

Closed Captioned Performances will be available on October 15 and 18.
