BAT BOY SPOTTED AT DOWNTOWN HOUSTON THEATER!

HOUSTON – (May, 2016) Ripped straight from tabloid headlines, BAT BOY: The Musical is a classic love story with a wicked bite! The Kaleidoscope remounts their inaugural production this summer, June 24 through July 24.

Based on a story published in the "Weekly World News" in 1992, 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. Madness ensues as the townsfolk (Anna Drake, Tyler Galindo, Luke Hamilton, and Savannah Lee) investigate a mysterious cow-killing plague and its suspicious connection to the bat boy. For lack of a better solution, the local sheriff (Nathan Costella) brings the bat boy (Colton Berry) to the home of the town veterinarian, Dr. Parker (Brian Chambers). He is soon accepted as a member of the Parker family, and is taught to act like a "normal" boy by the veterinarian's wife, Meredith (Brennan Ashley), and their teenage daughter, Shelley (Victoria Riley).

Set to an infectious pop-rock score by Laurence O’Keefe (Heathers, Legally Blonde), BAT BOY: The Musical takes a comic book blast at classic horror movies. Directed by Founding Artistic Director Colton Berry, music directed by Jane Volke and choreographed by Luke Hamilton, BAT BOY is a night of unexpected heart-warming hilarity at the theater!

BAT BOY: The Musical runs June 24 through July 24 at The Kaleidoscope, located at 705 Main Street, Suite B (entrance on Capitol). Performances are Friday and Saturday evenings at 8:00 pm, and Sundays at 5:00 pm. Tickets are available at www.BayouCityTheatrics.com as well as at the door, although patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance to secure seating in the intimate venue.
