“Bat Boy: The Musical” Searhng for Teens
ONLY LOCAL TALENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. Teens aged 17+ wanted for “Bat Boy: The Musical”. Please see the details below. About the project: After a mysterious bat-like human is discovered by some local teenagers, 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 secret. Soon the entire town arrives and hears the shocking story of Bat Boy’s unholy origin. Additional info: Non-Equity contracts are available for this show.
