Marysville’s own Red Curtain Foundation is bringing another production to town this week. 1997’s Bat-Boy: the Musical! Based on the satirical “news” stories from the Weekly World News this play is sure to be a hit! Showing August 7-15 with performances Fridays & Saturdays at 7pm, and a Saturday matinee at 1pm. Warning: This play features mature themes and gore, not recommended for all audiences.
They have provided the following blurb for interested audiences:
This comedy/horror is set in West Virginia. In the small town of Hope Falls at the feet of cavernous mountains, a creature is discovered! Is it a bat? Is it a boy? After being taken to the home of the town's veterinarian, Dr. Parker, his wife, Meredith, and daughter, Shelley, attempt to tame the Bat Boy. Cows begin disappearing. Tension overtakes Hope Falls as fast as Meredith and Shelley’s admiration grows for the creature. Betrayal and gore, heartbreak and horror shake up this quiet town after the Bat Boy is plucked from the depths of his cave. Will this town recover?
