The Mystery of Irma Vep

The Department of Performing Arts at the University of Mount Union will present “The Mystery of Irma Vep” October 9-12 in the Gallaher Black Box Theatre in the Giese Center for the Performing Arts.

“The Mystery of Irma Vep” is a fast-paced spoof of Gothic melodramas play by Charles Ludlam, featuring three actors playing multiple roles—from vampires and werewolves to Egyptian princesses. The play, which premiered in 1984, blends satire, quick costume changes, and theatrical flair, making it a crowd-pleasing comedy that’s been celebrated worldwide.

Thursday-Saturday performances will begin at 7:30 p.m. and a matinee performance will take place on Sunday at 2 p.m.

Tickets are $10 for adults and $8 for seniors/veterans and can be ordered by visiting mountunion.edu/boxoffice or calling (330) 821-2565. Tickets can also be purchased in person at the Box Office and one hour prior to the show start.
