The Last Hat – A “Mad Hatter” Horror Play

The Last Hat is a one-act ensemble horror play staged as part of the Benefit Series to help rebuild the Santa Monica Playhouse. This production is directed by Meghan Ripchik and features a talented ensemble cast.

This is a mature audience experience—recommended for ages 17+. With its blend of psychological horror and period atmosphere, the play delivers an intense and immersive theatrical evening.

Tickets must be purchased in advance and are handled outside of Eventbrite. Please secure your spot early, as seating is limited. Here is a direct link to the ticketing website handled through Showclix: https://www.showclix.com/event/the-last-hat-a-save-the-main-stage-benefit-event

There will be only two performances. Once tickets are sold out, no additional shows will be added.

Santa Monica Playhouse is an intimate theater setting. The Benefit Series supports the Playhouse’s restoration, so your attendance not only brings you into the world of The Last Hat, but also helps sustain an important community arts space.
