The Visceral Company is a Los Angeles-based production company dedicated to producing theatre and films in the horror, thriller, and sci-fi genres. Founded in early 2010 around the production of the award-winning short film BUGBABY (Best Horror Short, 2011 International Horror and Sci-Fi Film Festival), our primary focus is to explore these genres in live theatre, emphasizing especially dark, strange, and macabre themes.

Our preview production FOUR SHADOWS played an extremely limited three-night run to packed houses in July 2010. In October 2010, we presented a second evening of one-act plays entitled TALES TO DIE FOR, which ran for four weeks. February 2011 brought the West Coast premiere of Scott T. Barsotti's zombie play THE REVENANTS. Summer 2011 is seeing two productions - Radha Bharadwaj's tale of personal and political torture CLOSET LAND.

Our second thrilling season begins this fall, as we proudly present DEAD OF NIGHT, a fully authorized, original adaptation of short stories by Stephen King.

We hope our work will encourage further onstage exploration of the underrepresented horror and sci-fi genres , and that we help build an appreciation of live theatre in the younger audiences traditionally drawn to them.
