My Son’s A Homosexual, And I Love Him…
There’s ONE true queen bee of high-school dark comedy, and that’s HEATHERS. And now, Theatre Contra is taking this cult-classic script of teen angst, croquet, and casual homicide and performing it LIVE!
Get ready for a night of savage one-liners, color-coded tyranny, and a love story so toxic only Winona Ryder could pull it off. So pull on your scrunchies, hop in a go-kart and prepare for an evening of beautifully bitchy mayhem as we bring this deliciously dark masterpiece to life.
