PLAYOFF RULES!

SIXTEEN stories.
Only TWO will get to finish their tale.
YOU decide.

SIXTEEN serials will face off in an elimination battle to win your favor... and $750!

We begin with WILD CARD WEEK!  On May 22, eight serials face off, with a time limit of five minutes each, and only TWO will be chosen, by your vote, to continue.  Who is in the Wild Card Week?  The serials that were still standing at the end of the last regular show, one producer's choice... and five serials YOU chose by voting via the Serial Killers @ The Sacred Fools Theater Facebook group.

Starting in week two, the two Wild Card survivors will go head-to-head with the eight longest-running serials from the past season, again with just five minutes each.  Two will be eliminated each week by your vote, and the time limits will increase as the serials are eliminated.  Last two standing get to conclude their tales at the June 26 show, and your vote will determine which gets the $750 prize!  (Second place: $250.  Third place: nuttin'!)  Details...

Each week's serials could live on to victory... or be quietly smothered in their sleep – it’s up to you. But whichever pieces you vote for, one thing is for certain - by the end of the evening, you will be a Serial killer.

Featuring Your Host... Terry Tocantins
