Summary
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the student lounge, you discover Marcus has come home! Years before, on Prom Night, he lost the election for student body president and burned down the gymnasium, and since then, he has spent his days in a nearby asylum plotting revenge. This delightful, easy to produce play is a wild spoof of all the teenage horror films ever made, from Halloween to Nightmare on Elm Street. The roles are great fun to play; everything from Elmo the clod who gives campus security a bad name to Carrie Bisquitbarrel who gives school cafeterias something even worse. Plus, there's the"killer" lawnmower that stalks the campus, and ski-masked maniacs who drop in with chainsaws. It's up to Audrey, the brightest girl in the school, to come up with a method to catch Marcus! A movie send-up with a comic grabber for a young cast.
