Lust. Revenge. Pom-poms. Welcome to Bay Orchard High, where plotting and scheming live side by side with turmoil and angst (but none of it is to be taken too seriously … except by the characters.)

Bay Orchard High

    Bay Orchard High is a wild, campy thrill ride full of high school tropes turned upside down. With its mix of lust, revenge, and pom-poms, it's a deliciously silly, supernatural romp. The dialogue is sharp, the characters are absurd, and the twist will leave you laughing out loud!

    Holy crap, what a wild ride this play is. It's like if the love child of John Waters, Charles Ludlam and Kelly Kapowski grew up and became class president at a Sunnydale High where the most popular extracurricular activities are varsity exposition and intramural subtext. The laughs are real and nonstop, the inventive staging challenges are irresistible and the cast is gonna have a ball. Would love to see this play on its weird demented feet.

    Ah, a typical slice-of-life high school play - except no, this is BONKERS. All the high school tropes are here, lovingly being made fun of, but it's also mysterious and supernatural and deeply, deeply silly. The two hapless boys were my favorites, but every character is a gift - even for the adult actor who gets to play all the grownups. High school has never been so much deadly fun.
