Get Ready for "Boy; the Musical"
Our show for summer of 2026 is "Bat Boy; the Musical," with story and book by Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming, music and lyrics by Laurence O'Keefe. The Summer Stars program is led by director Scott B Randall.
Registration will be available online starting Tuesday, March 10.
Based on a ridiculous tabloid story, Bat Boy: The Musical is a comedy/horror show about a half-boy/half-bat creature who is discovered in a cave near Hope Falls, West Virginia. For lack of a better solution, the local sheriff brings Bat Boy to the home of the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker, where he is eventually accepted as a member of the family and taught to act like a “normal” boy by the veterinarian’s wife, Meredith, and teenage daughter, Shelley.
Bat Boy is happy with his new life, but when he naively tries to fit in with the narrow-minded people of Hope Falls, they turn on him, prodded by the machinations of Dr. Parker, who secretly despises Bat Boy.
Shelley and Bat Boy, who have fallen in love, run away together from the ignorant townfolk and have a blissful coupling in the woods, but their happiness is shattered when Meredith arrives and reveals a shocking secret. Soon the entire town arrives to hear the horrifying story of Bat Boy’s unholy origin.
Bat Boy does contain mature elements including sexual references, implied drug use, mild profanity and adult situations.
