A Duology
​Written and Performed by Joe Arden
My Soul To Take: Unhinged Live Show

The Hudson Theatre, Los Angeles

New Stars of Old Hollywood:
The Official Unhinged After Party
October 17 & 21
​The Three Clubs, Los Angeles
Enter a world where opulence feeds excess and decadence drips with desire; where love is a drug and everybody wants to get high. 

Joe Arden brings his critically-acclaimed My Soul To Take universe to Los Angeles for its West Coast Premiere. Following sold-out runs of Untethered in Boston, New York & Baltimore, and Undead in New Orleans, Joe Arden proudly presents his third installment in the MSTT franchise: Unhinged. 

In two scintillating evenings of interconnected standalone shows, Joe cracks the spines of love stories new and old to create a unique stage experience that lingers long after the final curtain. 

Unhinged is presented as two distinct shows— each offering a complete, standalone experience. You do not need to see both to be transported. But together, they will take you even further.

Find out just how addicting love can be with My Soul To Take: Unhinged — an original live theatrical experience written, directed and performed by Joe Arden.

Presented over four nights at The Hudson Theatre Backstage, audiences have two opportunities to experience both shows:

October 16–17 @ 8PM PST
October 20–21 @ 7:30 PM PST

Take the plunge one night or feed your craving for complete darkness and desire with both shows.
