And now for a few words from the folks at Broom Street Theater: “There’s a killer on the loose and nobody knows who it could be. Fingers get pointed at some of the community’s children. Could an innocent child be guilty of such heinous acts? Is it the evil gardener? Discover the answer in “Muffy the Bitch,” one of the plays from Broom Street’s 40 plus years’ worth of theatrical entertainment.
See the movie about the play when Broom Street Theater presents “Muffy the Bitch,” a video/DVD of a live performance of Callen Harty’s 1997 play inspired by “The Bad Seed,” at 6 p.m. on Sunday, March 7th. The screening is part of BST’s Sunday Night at the Movies Screenings, held the Sunday after each new play opens throughout the season
Admission is free, but a $5.00 donation is suggested (and they may pass the hat, too).
Broom Street Theater is located at 1119 Williamson Street (it has never been located on Broom Street).
NB: The 1997 production featured actors Jackie Baker, Alan Bickley, Maritza Bryant, Ron Collins, Luke Delwiche, Mark Edwards, Buck Hakes, Lauri Harty, Shelley Johnson, Amanda Jones, Jamie McCanless, and Isa Norwood and was directed by Harty. According to a contemporary review by Nadine Goff, “Muffy the Bitch is 85 minutes of fun, laced with lots of bad puns, a few malapropisms and a tasty sprinkling of piquant social commentary.” She called Amanda Jones as Muffy “perfect” and went on to say of the other actors, “Harty has managed to recruit a virtual galaxy of stars.”
