The Hideout Theatre is proud to present The Violet Underbelly: full-length improvised plays in the style of film noir.

A world where the rich are above the law and the poor operate below it. Everyone cheats, everyone lies, and everyone gets their hands dirty in The Violet Underbelly.
Detectives, criminals, gamblers, and thieves. They all crawl on their bellies through the cold, violent streets of The Violet Underbelly. Life doesn’t have happy endings, and these stories won’t either.
