The final spotlight fades, leaving the audience in stunned silence. You step out from the dim theater into the backstage haze, the air thick with sawdust and mystery. Through the heavy velvet curtains, you catch glimpses of the performers: the hulking Wolf Man pacing his cage, Mr. Crepsley’s pale form lingering in shadows, and the Snake Boy coiling gracefully. The show is over, but the true spectacle begins now as you approach the gathered cast.
