Feathers & Teeth
by Charise Castro Smith
directed by Miguel Reyna
This fairytale concoction of teen angst and devastating loss make for a grisly good time in this unhinged “Horrordey”—a stew of dark comedy, family drama and over-the-top carnage.
Angsty teenager Chris is reeling from her mom’s illness and recent death. Throw in dad’s new girlfriend (mom’s ex-nurse), a few vicious creatures and the kid next door, and things really get twisted.
Part creature tale and part revenge tragedy, the highly theatrical "Feathers & Teeth" delivers a riveting exploration of grief and obsession. With a heavy helping of blood, of course.
October 16 - 31
Thurs, Fri & Sat @ 8 pm
Sun @ 2 pm
Thursday shows are 2 for 1 (use code 2for1)
