to take you on a strange journey

Our story

2007 - 2020

The Francis Bacon Experiment was founded in 2007 by John Kehoe. The group performed annually at the Riviera Theatre in North Tonawanda for Halloween. The success of the show has allowed the group to continue on for over 20 years. FBE also produced 420 The Musical written and directed by Kehoe.

2020 - and beyond!

After the Covid-19 Pandemic the group felt the urge to bring Rocky to Buffalo audiences year round, not just during Halloween. Shortly after that the group started to expand their repertoire and connect with other Shadow Casts across the country.
