Mysterious Creatures
Twisted Tales of Life, Love, and Madness
Truth is stranger than fiction, yet people are stranger than truth. In order to investigate these epiphanies and more, the Millikan Middle School Drama Production Department presents Mysterious Creatures: Twisted Tales of Life, Love, & Madness.
Inspired by the works of master comedic playwrights David Ives, Shel Silverstein, and Christopher Durang, this hysterical production features a diversely irreverent cornucopia of stories that delve into the most basic needs and desires of earth’s most mysterious creatures – humans. It’s an absurdly witty, romantic, wicked little romp through the many different layers of the human condition.

MACBETH
by William Shakespeare
A post-apocalyptic world plays host to one of
Shakespeare’s most popular and wicked tragedies. It’s the infamous chronicle of a once brave hero’s fall from grace, through spellbound
seduction and the unrestrained pursuit of power.
Shakespeare’s study of ambition leads us from
Macbeth’s most glorious victory to the bloody assassination that gains him the crown, and the final decisions that cost him his soul and ultimate
demise. Though Macbeth’s ambitions are powerful, it is Lady Macbeth whose ruthlessness sets off a string of murders that
unravels the merciless couple into all-consuming
guilt and paranoia.

Inspired by shows such as Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, and In Living Color, the production will feature a raucous blend of original sketch comedy, music, and dance. With special tributes to the comedy of Abbott & Costello and George Carlin, the show promises to be one of the rowdiest (and most unique) theatre going experiences of the year!
