A NEW TOURING PRODUCTION FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES
A Lonely Boy’s Guide to Survival (and Werewolves) by Ernie Nolan
Directed by Michael J. Bobbitt
About the Show: It’s 1956, and even though he has just become a Badger Scout, young Skipper’s life is a big mess. His next door neighbor yells all the time, his friend Sally Ann has become obsessed with detective stories and his dog, Lucky, has gone missing. To top it all off, his mother is forcing Skipper to befriend the new kid, Jonathan, an awkward boy with outlandish tales of his monster-hunting father. Exploring the topics of friendship, self-reliance, loss and grief, Skipper begins to wonder if the answers to life’s uncertainties may be found in his Badger Scout Guidebook or if anything — or anyone — is truly what they seem.
