Strangest Things: A Strange Parody in Two Acts
Travel back to Halloween 1983 in Hokie, South Dakota, where something very weird is lurking in the woods.
Written by Durham playwright Matthew Etherington, this razor-sharp comedy is a loving send-up of 1980s small-town sci-fi adventures. When their friend goes missing, a group of misfits set out to find him. Standing in their way: ruthless school bullies, a shadowy lab, and a strange new friend with a mind of her own.
Packed with clever surprises and a healthy dose of comic mischief, Strangest Things is a synth-soaked adventure with a great big heart — perfect for middle-school casts and family audiences alike.
