The amazing story of a brilliant boy-beast with pointy ears and a lethal overbite. Tackling racism and American delusions of owning the high moral ground, this cult hit also entertains with the self-aware sillyness of comedy-horror. The Bat Boy struggles to find a place in a world that shuns him, a community where “lovecreates both miracles and madness.”

Probably the only show that can claim to include a gospel number, a rock and roll aria, a Gilbert & Sullivan inspired patter song…. and lots of blood.

Bat Boy The Musical has won awards and rave reviews. The show is regarded as one of the funniest and most imaginative musicals in years.

John Lahr of The New Yorker observes "this is the only play in the history of the theatre whose hero ends Act I with a rabbit in his mouth, and who moves on in Act II to an entire cow's head." 

For mature audiences over 14.

Directed by Beth Schachter

Directed by Vanessa Lancellotti ‘10

Uncommon Women and Others
Collegiate Comedy by Wendy Wasserstein

Welcome to Mount Holyoke, one of America’s Seven Sister Schools. While one might expect to meet some typical female characters, instead we encounter eight women (not to mention their near-retirement, strait-laced housemother) who are quite uncommon indeed.

Feminist playwright Wendy Wasserstein’s first major work explores
every college woman’s struggle of searching for her purpose with a charm
and wit that will fill audiences with delight.

Presented Wednesday at 7 p.m., Thursday 10 p.m., Friday at 7 p.m.,
Saturday at 10 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.

Directed by Kristin M. Sgarro ‘10
