Have you ever noticed a small bearded man running around your house?  Look again because Russian folklore promises that every home has a Domovoi, the house spirit who protects the family. In Not My Monster! Father, Mother, Darya and Vasily are forced to move from their lavish penthouse in the city to a creepy cabin in the middle of a swamp when the Russian economy tanks. Watch what happens when the children are not so sure that their Domovoi came along too.

Not My Monster! is best for families with children ages 5 and up. Children under 1 are FREE.

  • Seating is general admission with mats in front of chairs for anyone wants to sit on floor.
