BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL

Umbrella Arts presents... <a href="https://theumbrellaarts.org/production/bat-boy-musical">BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL</a> | September 25 - November 8, 2026 in Concord, MA THE STORY: Half-bat, half-boy, ripped from the tabloid headlines, and thrust into the spotlight! In this camp horror comedy, a misunderstood monster seeks a place to belong. Taken in by a veterinarian, endeared to his adopted sister Shelly, and reviled by the locals, mild-mannered “Edgar” searches fiercely for a place he can truly be himself. Set to an eclectic pop-rock score by Laurence O'Keefe (Legally Blonde, Heathers the Musical), Edgar’s wild journey is a hilarious satire and an offbeat fable for the outsider in all of us. BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL is recommended for mature audiences, teens and up. <a href="https://www.theumbrellaarts.org/bat-boy">Learn more.</a> CALENDAR:<ul><li>Playing: Thursdays - Saturdays at 7:30 PM | Sundays at 3:00 PM (with exceptions for select performance times)</li><li>Previews: Friday &amp; Saturday, September 25 &amp; 26, 7:30 PM, free for students and educators with advanced purchase and valid school ID&nbsp;</li><li>Press Opening: Sunday, September 27, 3:00 PM</li><li><a href="https://theumbrellaarts.org/class/kidcare-performances">KidCare:</a> Sunday, September 18, 5:30 PM (pre-registration required)</li></ul>ABOUT OUR SPECIAL EVENTS &amp; OPPORTUNITIES: Preview performances are free for students and educators with advance reservation and a valid form of school ID!
