BAD KID Opens Tonight at the Long Center

We're ALL about keeping it weird here in Austin, Texas, but growing up that way can be tough!

Just ask David Crabb, creator and star of Bad Kid, the hilariously heartwarming tale of a Goth boy who dreamed of being anywhere but the middle of Texas in 1991.

The setting is specific but the story is universal as Crabb reflects on rebellion, sexuality, friendship and what it means to grow up different and alone - just like everyone else.

We are thrilled to present this piece by such an amazing Texas artist in our Rollins Studio Theatre.
