The Interrobangers

Four groovy teens and a dog search the woods in their van to solve a mystery while exploring drugs, queerness, and the fear that men in rubber masks are scarier than monsters. The four question the world they know, looking into the parts of their history they would rather avoid.

    This is a gorgeous coming-of-age romp about cryptids and the people (and fellow cryptids) who love them. The puppets are delightful, the nostalgia is engaging, and the rituals are intricate in this tale of growing up, embracing queerness, and processing trauma and the fallibility of memory. I loved the authenticity of the central friend group, and watching them evolve over the course of the play was a treat. It's campy, funny, heartbreaking, scary, and mysterious, all in two tight hours of larger-than-life, strikingly intimate theatre.

    I really enjoyed the ambitious exploration in this story that focuses on the complexities of what it means to be older, but still not adult. Really interesting visual elements that I’d love to see staged. I found myself remarkably invested in the characters after less than 100 pages.

    Those last few lines gave me a chill. I love this concept-using Scooby Doo tropes to tell a story of a group of teens coming to terms with trauma and their own queerness. I loved Luna's monologue at the end. I'm rooting for these kids. I'm especially rooting for Hoover.
