PITS! The Unauthorized Holes Musical Returns to the Peoples Improv Theater

PITS! The Unauthorized Holes Musical is an original musical parody that plays tribute to Louis Sachar's brilliant story and the much-beloved Disney film while celebrating the weirdness and passion of the creative team and cast.

Danley Yelnad's family is cursed. They've been cursed since Eli Yelnad forgot to carry Madame Zilchini up that dang mountain. Eli didn't know his mistake would send his great-great-grandson Danley to a youth correctional facility. Now an innocent Danley has to dig pits at Camp Wetwater for eighteen months. Come meet Mr. Man, Steve the Onion Man, Smoochin' Sally and a whole bunch of juvenile delinquents with funny names.

PITS will be beginning a two month residency at The Peoples Improv Theater, starting on Tuesday, October 3. Shows will be every Tuesday night at 8pm until closing on Tuesday, November 28. The show runs approximately 90 minutes. Tickets can be purchased online by visiting tinyurl.com/pits2017. Also, check out the PITS Facebook page at facebook.com/pitsthemusical!
