Carrie the Musical at Tantrum Theater

Join us March 9, 10, 22, 23, 24, and 25 at 8pm in the Baker Theater (Kantner Hall) on Ohio University's campus for Tantrum Theater’s production of Carrie, The Musical with book by Lawrence D. Cohen, lyrics by Dean Pitchford, and music by Michael Gore. Adapted from Stephen King's 1974 novel and made into a memorable movie in 1976, the original 1988 stage production became theater legend as one of the biggest flops on Broadway, running five performances. In spite of that rocky beginning, the show gained a cult following and in 2012 an off-Broadway production made significant revisions to the show, producing the version you will see on our stage. The primary message about the damage teenage bullying does to young people is still as relevant today as it was almost 50 years ago.

We are thrilled to welcome Victoria Rae Sook* as Director and Choreographer of Carrie. Victoria comes to us from New York City as does our guest actor playing Margaret White, Carrie’s mother, Jessie MacBeth*.
