Audiences can head into the Okefenokee Swamp for a musical comedy adventure when St. Marys Little Theatre opens “Sasquatched: The Musical” with performances scheduled Oct. 16 through Oct. 25. The production launches the theater's season, according to a community announcement.
The original musical follows Arthur, a Sasquatch who is described as intelligent, gentle and dignified, after he becomes lost in the Okefenokee Swamp and forms an unexpected friendship with a boy named Sam.
As the pair navigate the swamp, they meet eccentric local residents while avoiding a television crew determined to prove Bigfoot's existence. The show combines original music and comedy with themes of friendship, acceptance and understanding.
Founded on a fictional take
on the legendary creature, the family-oriented production offers a humorous look at human-Sasquatch relationships, according to the announcement.
“There is a little bit of Sasquatch in everyone. Audiences will discover how disparate communities can connect with the common bond of kindness and understanding,” show director and St. Marys Little Theatre founder Barbara Ryan Harris said.
