'Cthulhu: the Musical!' hits Nevada City on July 18

Jul. 13—"Cthulhu: the Musical!" has been described by its creators as a rock horror comedy musical, performed with puppets. If that isn't interesting enough, this all-original production is now on tour and will arrive at the Nevada Theatre in Nevada City on July 18 for one night only.

The company, Puppeteers for Fears, was founded on Halloween in 2015 and has since carved a niche for itself as Oregon's only dedicated puppet musical horror troupe.

This particular show was written by Josh Gross, the company's artistic director, in 2016 and premiered that same year. It then followed a small touring circuit with sold-out performances across the West Coast before retiring due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
