Calling all spooky creatives! 💀

We at CRYPT love and appreciate the historic venue we utilise for our events. It’s full of history and beauty. We very much look forward to years of future CRYPT events in this 130 year old landmark.

If you dig it as much as we do and would like to contribute to its restoration and preservation, please consider supporting. 💜🤘🏼💀

One of the most recognizeable features of our building is the stunning plaster molding decorating the arch of our biggest stage (known as the proscenium). Ornamental plaster was a common decoration in the late 1800s and early 1900s, especially in community buildings like theatres. Our proscenium is in excellent condition, and really provides that "wow" factor when you first enter the Blue room.

If you would like to contribute to the restoration and preservation of this historic building for generations to come, please visit https://buff.ly/3yGqCRf or contact us for more info!

And now a word from our lovely venue! 🖤💀❄️

Brrr! This frosty weather just reminded us...Our CRYPT goth nights are 16+, so instead of alcohol, we always offer a selection of mocktails. However, this Saturday's CRYPT is going to have some delicious warm beverages available, including a hot cocoa bar, spiced hot cider, and a cranberry spritzer for those who like the cold.

Hey all you lovely darklings!!

As most of you know, Michigan weather is alway a gamble. We never really know what we will get until it’s here. So, with that, we have decided to postpone tonight’s CRYPT until the 27th.

For anyone who has purchased tickets for tonight, those will be good for the 27th.

Y’all stay home, stay safe, and stay warm. We look forward to seeing all of you in 2 weeks! 🤘🏼💀❄️
