What is the Butt Game? at Cannonball Festival

Savannah Reich's new play delves into the satanic panic of the late 1980s through a unique blend of personal memory and community. Connor Hogan leads the cast, directing a rotating ensemble of local actors, including Sarah Sanford, Kelly McCaughan, and Rose Luardo, each bringing their own improvisation to the narrative. The story centers around the investigation of a daycare shutdown sparked by a child's mention of "the butt game," inviting reflection on how moral panics can distort perceptions of innocence. With each performance featuring unrehearsed guest stars, the play promises a fresh and dynamic experience each time.
