The Encore welcomes back U-M’s prestigious School of Music, Theatre & Dance for their production of Bat Boy: The Musical. Weaving a captivating tale of acceptance and belonging as it follows the journey of a half-boy, half-bat creature discovered in a cave. With infectious music and dark humor, this offbeat production challenges conventions and leaves audiences spellbound by its quirky charm.
