Ensemble Member, John Harlacher

Congratulations to Ensemble Member, John Harlacher for the success of his current production/project/event: NIGHTMARE (BEFORE CHRISTMAS): THE EXPERIMENT.

The reviews are in:

"Nightmare (Before Christmas): The Experiment is definitely a unique theatre experience. " - NYTHEATRE.COM

"Creators and co-directors Timothy Haskell and John Harlacher have reached a new high in their unique blend of the haunted house and the theatrical, developing the traditional "boo!" into something truly original and exciting. " - CULTURECATCH

"The Experiment is a show unlike any other you will see this year. The holidays are a time of giving and John Harlacher and Tim Haskell give us a gift of prepackaged fear that is unpredictable and hilariously funny. You're definitely going to laugh at how ridiculous we as humans can be when put in preposterous situations." - THE JADED VIEWER

http://hauntedhousenyc.com/tickets.php

  • John Harlacher (Co-director,) is an actor and director. Recent acting work includes the indie feature Love Simple, directed by Mark von Sternberg; Off-Broadway’s Dog Day Afternoon, adapted by Francisco Solorzano; and the revival of Israel Horovitz’sRats. Both stage productions were produced by The Barefoot Theatre Company, of which he is a member. Directing work includes Cats Can See The Devil,written by Tom X. Chao; the Miami version of Nightmare: Ghost Stories, created by Timothy Haskell and the feature film Urchin, which he also wrote. Released theatrically and distributed worldwide, Urchin was banned in Malaysia as a “threat to culture.”
