Bad Seed

A video overview of our production of Bad Seed
By Maxwell Anderson, Based on the novel by William March

Can someone be born evil? The scene is a small Southern town where Colonel and Christine Thriller
Penmark live with their daughter, Rhoda. On the surface Rhoda is a sweet, charming eight-year-old, full of old-fashioned graces, loved by her parents, admired by all her elders. But Rhoda's mother has an uneasy feeling about her. When one of Rhoda's schoolmates drowns mysteriously at a picnic, Mrs. Penmark is alarmed. For the boy who drowned was the one who had won the penmanship medal that Rhoda felt she deserved. The girl's mother, slowly comes to the horrible conclusion that Rhoda was responsible for the boy's death--a suspicion fueled by a shocking discovery. Meanwhile, a handyman "accidentally" burns to death after a confrontation with Rhoda. Mrs Penmark must decide between the love for her child and stopping Rhoda before she can kill again.

@regger099 Seems whenever an audience gets uncomfortable, they tend to laugh. Part of the nature of theatre sometimes.
