Little Rhoda Penmark is sweet, charming, full of old-fashionEd Graces, loved by her parents, admired by all her elders. But when one of Rhoda's schoolmates is mysteriously drowned at a picnic, Mrs. Penmark is alarmed. For the boy who was drowned won the penmanship medal that Rhoda felt she deserved. "...It ranks with 'Dracula' and sometimes sets your spine to as much tingling...chilling." NY Telegram.

"Street Theatre Company's production of Bad Seed is going to be very exciting and innovative," explains Artistic Director, Cathy Street. "First off, the themes in the show are so interesting in and of themselves. It explores the age-old question of nature versus nurture and whether or not can evil be inherited. Additionally, this production will feature original live underscoring by composer, Rollie Mains. The idea is to explore how music enhances, consciously or subconsciously, an audience member's experience, especially in a psychological thriller like this. We hope to create a really unique experience for the theatergoer."

The run features special events including a charity night, where one dollar of each ticket sold will go to a local non-profit, a student night where tickets are only $10, a Starving Artist night that is pay-what-you-can-afford, and a "talk-back" night, where the audience is invited to stay after the show and talk with the cast and crew.
