Lock up your cows and your daughters! The residents of a tiny West Virginia town are about to come face-to-face with a fearsome freak-half-bat, half-boy. But perhaps there's more to this menace than razor-sharp fangs and a hypnotic singing voice. It may be dark, it may be dangerous, but we're determined to find the truth about THE BAT BOY...

 

"Houston may have found its surprise hit of the season with Bat Boy." - Houston Chronicle

"Deliriously offbeat, this recent off-Broadway hit is making its Houston premiere in a dynamite rendition by Stages Repertory Theatre. With ingenious direction by Brian Jucha, terrifically engaging performance by Scott Sowinski in its unusual title role and a uniformly excellent company, this production socks the show across most entertainingly." - Houston Chronicle

"The entire production-sharp as a fang and slick as a pool of blood-has magnificent vigor due to the exemplary cast and the prickly direction of New York theater import, director Brian Jucha. He gives the show true Broadway moxie. From the very first image of spelunkers descending by ropes from the flies, we know we're in professional, capable, and loving hands. We're in for a ride, and Jucha pulls out all the staging tricks to keep us tapping our toes and smiling at all the cleverness." - Out Smart Magazine
