Marlene Boll Theatre
Detroit Mercy Theatre Company‘s production of The Grown Ups, by Simon Henriques and Skylar Fox, will be performed across two weekends, April 4-6 and April 11-13 at the Marlene Boll Theatre located at 1401 Broadway Street in downtown Detroit. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 3 p.m.
Grab a s’more and immerse yourself in this dark satire directed by Andrew Papa about a group of camp counselors thrust into a struggle to shape the leaders of tomorrow amidst looming uncertainty and fraught relationships.
The story unfolds underneath the starlit sky, as the campers drift off to sleep and the lake whispers its lullabies, and it’s time for the counselors to unwind. But amidst the tranquility, there’s an undercurrent of tension. What awaits in the morning to keep camp fun and safe? The news hints at something sinister, something lurking beyond the forest’s edge.
