McBride Middle School presents ‘Meet the Creeps’ this weekend

McBride Middle School presents this year’s play, “Meet the Creeps,” on Thursday, March 22, and Friday, March 23, at 6 p.m. and on Saturday, March 24, at 2 p.m. Tickets go on sale at 5:15 and 1:15 p.m. respectively, and the PTO will be offering concessions.
The play is directed by Tracy Delfuoco and Pamela O’Neill.
The Creeps are a loony, lovable household in a dilapidated mansion on Pilgrim Road. There’s Sinbad, head of the bunch, his beloved wife, Tarantula, and Sally, their teenage niece. Lullaby Jones is their maid, and their butler resembles a billy goat! Unfortunately for the Creeps, Flora Limetree, a local society dragon, hates them. Each year Flora enters Pilgrim Road in the All-American Street Contest, and every year the lane loses. She blames the Creeps. Scheming with her nephew, she redraws the town limits, and the Creeps find themselves outsiders. To complicate matters, Prince Un Ravel arrives from Egypt as a house guest. A weird boarder falls in love with Sinbad’s grandmother who is raising crocodiles in the dungeon. There’s a talking clock, a ghostly portrait, an ancient telephone operator and Scooter, a neighbor kid who turns the plot inside out and back again.
