Friday the 13th the parody musical
Superstitious locals warn against keeping a fading summer camp open, but past murders don’t sway the teenage riffraff and the dumb counselors as they’re slashed, shot and stabbed—all while dancing, singing as they struggle to stay alive against an opponent with machete and a song in his heart. All Puppet Players slay audiences every weekend in October at Playhouse on the Park at Viad Corporate Center, 1850 N. Central Ave. at Palm Lane in Phoenix.
