The Ride Inspector’s Nightmare at Coney Island USA

The Ride Inspector’s Nightmare continues it’s run at Coney Island USA.

“Coney Island USA presents a month long October Halloween Haunt/Interactive Theater Experience full of horror, crime and bad language, from October 9th through November 1st, 2015 at Sideshows by the Seashore, 1208 Surf Avenue at West 12th Street, Brooklyn, NY. The performance is a production of our resident theater company: Funhouse Philosophers.

THE RIDE INSPECTOR’S NIGHTMARE is written and directed by Dick Zigun and features Guest Artist Zero Boy as 80 year old retiring Chief Ride Inspector Patty McKay. The audience joins the cast at the end of McKay’s retirement banquet which has been going on for hours of drinking, accident related story telling and extreme drug use. At the end of the party, Patty McKay falls asleep, sleepwalks and re-experiences nightmares associated with his long career.

The audience is pre-warned to expect this show to be 100% disturbing & dangerous with dirty language, adult content, drug use and audience abuse.”

“Prepare for a Jackson Pollock–esque splattering of blood, guts and sickening sounds at this violently fun show written and directed by Dick Zigun.” Time Out New York.
