About the Show

A teen's body bites back when men harm her in a new musical by Michael R. Jackson & Anna K. Jacobs.

Dawn O'Keefe, a devout evangelical Christian teenager, possesses a mysterious and incomprehensible power – when men assault her, her body bites back. Literally.

This new musical, a collaboration between Pulitzer Prize and Tony-winning playwright Michael R. Jackson (A Strange Loop) and Anna K. Jacobs (POP!), draws its inspiration from the cult classic film of the same name. It's a fierce, electrifying, and intensely entertaining musical crackling with insuppressible longing and age-old anger, a dark comedy that weaves the story of a girl whose sexual curse is also her salvation.
