The Hobgoblin Playhouse

Things are getting mysterious this month at the Hobgoblin!

February 12 & 15
MARCUS IS ALIVE

Imagine and walk into a bar…

This is the true story of a hit-and-run, two brain surgeries, six failed marriage proposals, a psychic investigator and a wayward Rabbi. Marcus is still alive, but the real mystery is why, and why are any of us here?

Marcus Is Alive is a heartwarming show about how the actor in front of you faced death and fought back through a miraculous recovery to make the most of life.

This one-man play will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you question “why we are alive?”
