press release:
Invasion of the Jesus Snatchers, a hilarious new screwball comedy from Madison playwright Brian Wild, is a funny and twisted take on the classic horror films of the 1950s, inspired by the life and works of Televangelist, Pat Robertson.
Set in modern times, Doctor Hildy Peters, a successful psychiatrist with a flair for being a bit too honest, is called home from a conference when some of her patients start acting a bit peculiar, and finds herself in the middle of a strange and ever-growing web of mystery and intrigue.
Accompanied by her friend, Jack, Hildy watches as patients and family unexplainably change overnight, unaware that the evil Pat Robertson's master plan for world domination may be the reason for everyone's peculiar behavior.
Fast paced and funny, Invasion of the Jesus Snatchers is as witty as it is smart, and promises to be a great evening of theatrical mayhem as only Broom Street Theater can offer.
Invasion of the Jesus Snatchers by Brian Wild will run at Broom Street Theater at 8pm September 18th until October 10th. More details will be available on the theater's website bstonline.org . Tickets are $11.00. For more information or to make reservations contact Broom Street Theater at (608) 244-8338 or reserve at bstonline.org/reserve
