FREEPENNY FRIDAY: Escape Room, by Wade Bradford

ONE NIGHT ONLY: FREE-PENNY FRIDAY

Purchase your tickets here for our "Freepenny Friday" Escape Room performance! This special evening is dedicated to making theater accessible to everyone in the community, regardless of their income, by offering a pay-what-you-can option for tickets—even if that means paying nothing at all!

Please note: If you CAN afford to see a regular-price performance, we highly encourage you to support our local artists by purchasing tickets for one of our several standard show dates! But ALL are welcome at Freepenny Friday performances as long as there are seats available--no questions asked.

Our Freepenny Friday performances will always take place on the second Friday of a show's performance run.

About the Play: The high school girls’ softball team has one last shot to make it to playoffs.  However, that doesn’t seem likely since Wacy and Emma can’t seem to stop fighting, and Riley and Kylie are so inseparable that they don’t work with the rest of the team.  So instead of scheduling extra practice hours before the game, Coach forces the girls to participate in team-building activities.

That’s perfect for Professor Diabolical, as he has been rehearsing his evil laugh and is ready to have customers in his Escape Room.  Unfortunately, his assistant Brad is more focused on a single member of the team than on the minor details like clues and keys. This is one team-building exercise that goes hilariously wrong!  

Estimated runtime: 50 minutes. This is a single-act comedy, with no intermission.
