Description:
A world-premiere musical extravaganza!!
Blood, love, death, destiny! Mystery, mayhem, music, melodrama! Tragedy and terror -- comedy and cannibalism! Sex, drugs, and toe-tapping Broadway-style music! Beautiful sets and amazing special effects! The magic and terror of the Grand Guignol alive on the Seattle Stage!
The year is 1973 -- an era of moral confusion and social unrest. At the University of Wyoming, Professor Harlan Handsome (Sam Read), aging but untenured Professor of Abnormal Psychology, labors over his research in Bio-dynamic Feedback whereby the mentally deranged can learn to control their own minds with the use of auto-hypnotic techniques. When his star patient Mama's Boy (Aaron Allshouse), a man-child serial killer suffering from total amnesia, escapes the institution in a hail of fire and shattered glass, Handsome pursues him into the darkening wilderness of High Sky State Park in a desperate bid to save Handsome's student -- and true love -- Debbie Desroches (Rachel Hynes) from the killer's murdering hands. Will Professor Handsome succeed? Will he learn the killer's true identity? What is the source of the ghostly voice haunting the forest? Who is that mysterious hunter stalking his prey through the trees? Will Handsome correct the mistakes of his past, or will he be destroyed by them as destiny's cruel machinery grinds into merciless motion, splattering the audience with the hot blood of innocents and leaving no taboo untouched?
