Last year’s pilot sold out. Now Midnight High is coming back bigger: a six-month residency inside “Oxhead,” a gothic western noir frontier town built in a 9,000-square-foot space at POST Houston, 401 Franklin St.
Immersive Houston will stage the show Thursdays through Sundays, from February 11 to August 15, 2027. The town comes with a working saloon, bank, jailhouse and more, and the audience walks through all of it.
How the Show Works
There are no seats and no fourth wall. Each performance runs 90 to 120 minutes, and guests explore the town alongside a cast of twelve actors. You choose how to take it in: stay a silent observer behind a black bandana, or lower your mask at the saloon to trade dialogue and drinks with the town’s residents.
Capacity is capped at 70 guests per show, and the show is for ages 18 and over. Writer and producer Beau York says the larger space gives the story more room, and that returning audiences can dig into plot threads the pilot only hinted at.
Director and producer Andrew Roblyer describes each performance as “an ensemble contract between twelve actors and seventy guests sharing the same space.” The creative team includes local designer Santiago Sepeda (scenic design and technical direction), Erika Ubias (lighting) and Mandy Mershon (costumes). Immersive soundscapes complete the setting.
The producers call it one of the most ambitious long-run independent immersive productions staged in Texas. York says the goal is to bring Houston the kind of large-scale immersive theatre usually associated with New York or Los Angeles.
