Sneak peek at Bat Boy: The Musical

Get a sneak peek at The Footlight Club's April show this weekend.

On Saturday, March 19 at 11:00 a.m., cast in costume as Bat Boy and Pan will take turns acting in the window at Boomerangs in downtown JP. There will be opportunities for taking pictures and chatting with cast and crew members.

Bat Boy: The Musical is the April show at The Footlight Club. The show is based on a 1992 Weekly World News story about a half-boy, half-bat who grew up living in a cave in West Virginia. Bat Boy is discovered by some local spelunkers and brought to the local veterinarian, where he is taken in, and learns speech and proper etiquette. Can he acclimate to living outside the cave? Will the townsfolk be able to forget his past, and accept him for who he is? Come find out!
