Bat Boy Extended at the Long Beach Playhouse!

By:


Long Beach, CA, Due to large crowds, the final show of Long Beach Playhouse Studio season, Bat Boy: The Musical, will extend one additional weekend and will close on Saturday night, November 21. Tickets can be purchased online at lbplayhouse.org or by calling the box office at 562-494-1014 X 1.

"We're so excited to add an extra weekend," said Andrew Vonderschmitt, the Playhouse's Executive and Producing Artistic Director. In 1992, a tabloid newspaper ran an allegedly true story about a half-bat-half-human child found in a West Virginia cave. Later, of course, the story was debunked, but not before Keythe Farley, Brian Flemming, and Laurence O'Keefe turned it into a musical entitled Bat Boy. The production is directed by Vonderschmitt, with Technical Director Sean Gray, showing off his considerable acting talent as Dr. Parker, the veterinarian whose family is at the center of the story.

Adults are $24.00, seniors $21.00, and Students $14.00.
Tickets are available at www.lbplayhouse.org, or by calling 562-494-1014, option 1.
To request an interview with the director, cast members or reserve your media tickets to this performance, please send an email to: pr@lbplayhouse.org.
