About the Play
Synopsis: Eleven-year-old Topeka has always lived in the shadows of The Macabre Mausoleum, her family’s hit television show that showcases low-budget horror films. But when her mother, the show’s indomitable host, decides to quit for good, the family is plunged into chaos. As her father scrambles to keep the family business afloat, Topeka is unexpectedly thrust into the spotlight, forced to take on a new role she never could’ve imagined playing. CREATURE FEATURE is a coming-of-age memory play about the beauty and horror of changing the roles we’re assigned to play in life.
