The award-winning Musical Theatre Guild, a company of professional performers who present concert-staged readings of seldom seen musicals, will close their 15th season with Larry O'Keefe, Keythe Farley and Brian Flemming's BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL. The performance will take place on Monday, June 13, 2011 at 7:30 PM at the historic Alex Theatre in Glendale.
Using virtually every style of music - country, Gospel, pop, rock, tango, opera and show - BAT BOY tells the engrossing story of a half-boy, half-bat found in a cave who learns to speak and gains a family, romance and a home... until society takes it all away. The message: "Don't Deny Your Beast Inside". Created in Los Angeles in 1997, this remarkable entertainment was recognized as "Best New Off-Broadway Musical" by the 2001
Lucille Lortel and Outer Critics Circle Awards. MTG's staging marks its 10th Off-Broadway Anniversary!
