A terrifying presence is targeting the teenagers of Elm Avenue in their dreams. Will one enterprising young lady find a way to escape? Maybe. Will she sing about it? Definitely. From the creators of That 80s Time Travel Movie, Steel Petunias, Ghostblasters, and The Hungry Hungry Games, comes A Bad Dream on Elm Avenue, a new unauthorized musical parody of Wes Craven's A Nightmare on Elm Street. The wildly popular Unauthorized! series takes well known movies, selected by and voted on by its fans, and turns them into fully realized musical parodies with completely original books, music and lyrics.

Unauthorized! A Bad Dream on Elm Avenue will play seven performances only as follows: Friday, October 7 (opening night) at 8pm and Saturday, October 8 at 8pm; Sunday, October 9 at 7pm; Friday, October 14 and Saturday, October 15 at 8pm; and Sunday, October 16 at 3pm and 7pm.
