As midnight looms on Halloween night 1932, the surviving descendants of the long-deceased Cyrus West have gathered in his remote British mansion to discover which of them is the chosen heir to his fortune. As a storm rattles the house, so does news that a truly monstrous inmate ( AKA "The Cat") from a nearby asylum is on the loose.
Theatrical tricks and scary treats will abound in this brand new 90 minute adaptation of Broadway's original horror comedy smash!
Before "CLUE," "The House on Haunted Hill," and "Knives Out," there was - "The Cat And The Canary."
