Graveyard Shift, Lewis Center for the Arts

Friday November 14, 2025
8:00 PM

Graveyard Shift is a gothic horror tragicomedy set in a haunted graveyard-turned-luxury-apartment complex. Fugitive librarians, a puritanical gravedigger, and a steampunk orphan grapple with the fear of death as the cost of one’s “calling” threatens to claim the ultimate price. Blending high-stakes physicality, lyrical dialogue, and kick-ass heavy metal, Graveyard Shift is a darkly absurdist exploration of faith, grief, and narratives of survival. Conceived and created by Princeton senior Ash Baudelaire and directed by senior Matthew Cooperberg.
