Spectral Raven Theatre Company

We specialize in immersive horror experiences that push creative boundaries, driven by a team of scholars and experts dedicated to create original, inclusive horror productions.

“Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.”

-Edgar Allan Poe, The Raven

Dear Friends of Spectral Raven Theatre Company,

In the wake of the fire that took our beloved performance space, we find ourselves still wandering through the shadows, seeking a new stage from which to share our haunting tales. No matter the challenges we may currently face, our search is unrelenting, driven by our passion to tell original stories that linger in the dark, long after the curtain falls. Your support and patience light our path. Until we shall soon meet again…

By ghost light,

Maria Coon, MA, MFA
Owner/Artistic Director, Spectral Raven Theatre Company

Dear Spectral Raven Patrons, We want to thank each of you for your wonderful support of Balada De Muerte, and for purchasing tickets, or planning to attend our production. Unfortunately, there has been a fire at the Labyrinth Art Space Collective, where our company currently resides. We are incredibly grateful that no one was harmed, and we extend our full support to Alicia and the entire Collective as they work through this challenging time. We encourage the public to join us in supporting the Collective in any way possible. At this moment, we are still awaiting details regarding the full extent of the damage, and we are exploring the possibility of relocating the production or postponing it. We ask for your patience as we assess the situation and determine the best path forward. If you wish to receive a refund on your tickets, please do so at www.ticketleap.com. As the owner and artistic director of Spectral Raven Theatre Company, my love and respect for this community and the unique, important work of our artists remains unwavering. Together and with strong hearts, we forge forward. We shall provide updates as soon as possible. Thank you once more for your support.
