CHEERLEADERS VERSUS THE FORCES OF DARKNESS
Music, Lyrics, and Book by Paul Cosca
Fifteen-year-old Caroline moves to the town of Suburbia Springs, where she has to navigate making new friends, helping plan the winter formal, and stopping an impending apocalypse. Taking inspiration from B horror films, John Waters-style satire, and teen dramas, and featuring a score that you'll be humming for weeks, "Cheerleaders Versus the Forces of Darkness" is set to be your new favorite cult musical.
