A live, immersive theatre and cocktail experience built around infamous serial killers is set to take over The Parkdale Hall in Toronto, blending themed mixology with true-crime storytelling in a staged bar setting.
The event is scheduled for Saturday, June 13, with showtimes at 3:30 p.m., 6:00 p.m., and 8:30 p.m., according to Insauga. Tickets are priced at $56, and the experience is restricted to guests aged 19 and over. The production is part of a touring series that combines cocktail service with live performance, with each segment of the show paired directly with a themed drink designed by the event’s mixology team.
The experience runs for approximately 90 minutes and is structured around immersive storytelling, where actors present dramatized accounts of well-known historical crimes. The venue will be transformed into a dark, cocktail-forward environment, with the bar experience positioned as a central part of the performance rather than an add-on. Each story transition is tied to a new drink service, reinforcing the connection between narrative and mixology.
Featured throughout the experience are four well-known figures, including Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, and Ed Gein. Each is paired with a signature cocktail such as The Friendly Stranger, Apartment Two One Three, Killer Clowns, and Gein’s Cauldron. Mocktail versions will also be available, ensuring the full drink program is accessible throughout the show.
The cocktail component is positioned as a key part of the production, with themed drinks crafted to reflect each segment’s tone and narrative. Guests move through a curated tasting-style progression, with beverages served in sequence as the performance unfolds. The format leans heavily on integrating bar service and theatrical pacing, making the drink experience as central as the storytelling itself.
The Parkdale Hall will be fully reimagined for the event, with lighting, staging, and service flow adjusted to support the immersive cocktail format. The show is part of a limited touring run and is expected to draw strong demand, particularly given its combination of live performance and structured cocktail service.
