Kingsport’s LampLight Theatre presents Mortality Room ‘Cry of the Damned’

Published 9:16 am Monday, October 10, 2022

Fall is here and spine-tingling chills are in the air as LampLight Theatre ushers in the Halloween season. While many haunted attractions promise a night of terror, LampLight’s newest Mortality Room production will besiege you long past your visit to see “The Cry of the Damned.” Have you ever wondered if Hell is real? Is there really a place of outer darkness filled with horrific torments? Is there truly a fiery domain inhabited by Satan and his vilest demons?

A group of everyday high school students from all walks of life tragically intersect as they face eternity. After a catastrophic accident, Destiny, an average teen, is ushered into Hell to witness the gruesome scenes of mutilated souls and to hear “The Cry of the Damned.” The horrors she sees and hears will take the audience on an arduous tour of Satan’s Nether Land. However, beyond the realms of Hell, there is a battle brewing to win Destiny’s soul from the menacing minions ready and waiting to torture her for eternity. The mortal lives of others hang in the balance while principalities and powers fight a cataclysmic war for their souls. Who will be damned? Will any be saved?
