Theatre--Performance (Musical Theatre)

This weekend (August 12th through the 14th) is the closing weekend for the AUI production of Bat Boy: The Musical at Cite Des Arts (109 Vine Street, Lafayette).


Bat Boy is the Lucille Lortel- and Outer Critics Circle Award-winning re-imagining of the story of the eponymous Weekly World News star. This high-energy, emotionally complex show brings to life the story of the Bat Boy, dragged out of his cave and taught by a veterinarian's family how to act like a human. When he innocently attempts to fit in with human society in the economically crippled town of Hope Falls, the desperate people turn on him. This darkly comic and hysterically tragic musical examines what it is to be human, what it is to be civilized, and how the past never leaves us, while never ceasing to amuse, entertain, and touch its audience.


Tickets are $15 for general admission and $12 for students and seniors and are available at the door.  Reservations can be made by calling Cite at (337) 291-1122 or online at the Cite website.
