By Briandaniel Oglesby

This new work was a finalist in the inaugural season of the School of Theatre and Dance’s Madison New Works Lab (MNWL), an incubator for developing new plays with professional playwrights from across the country. Seven years after workshopping Basement Demons and Trailer Saints, JMU welcomes its world premiere. Set in a small California town, the story follows sister Maria and Dirt and their friends as they navigate adolescence and dream of something more - unaware that Maria’s mysterious online connection, Hank Lord, is a demon. Briandaniel will serve as a professional playwright-in-residence, working with the cast and students on this exciting project. https://briandanieloglesby.com/ Madison New Works Lab is made possible by the generosity of Paul Holland and Linda Yates. Contains adult content and adult language. Parental discretion advised.
