‘Bat Boy’ in San Marcos
This is not a formal review. The show has closed. Its student actors have returned to classwork.
A good deal of credit goes to director Kaitlin Hopkins, also a member of the original off-Broadway cast. Yet every single one of the actors — even the ultra-campy ones — could have joined that original cast.
The self-mocking show has always creeped me out a bit, in a good way, dealing with a half bat, half human dealing with small-town hysteria about his presence in the community. I’d liked the production a few years back in East Austin, but missed the Summerstock version.
I can’t imagine a better production than this one.
