The Mothman

Point Pleasant, West Virginia is a small town on the Ohio River, infamous as the home to the mysterious Mothman. Some say the creature is a harbinger of disaster, others say it’s a hoax whose mythos props up the town’s economy. Now, with children going missing, it's up to a pregnant teenager, her best friend, and an ensemble of queer townsfolk to solve the mystery once and for all. But as our night in the theater grows later, the world of the play fractures, leaving us to question what it means to protect our communities and their stories.
