Third Eye Theatre's Grand Guignol is always composed of at least four one-act vignettes, and one notable M.C. in what might best be described as live, horror, cabaret. So, come join our M.C. Monsieur Guignol for a rollercoaster ride of comedy and horror in our new play, modern Grand Guignol series.
