So, in case you didn't know, I saw Bat Boy twice at my university: once having no idea what I was going to see, and another time, in a front seat, so I could really appreciate how awesome it turned out to be. And Bat Boy kept making eye contact with me. XD

Unfortunately, I have found no productions recorded and uploaded to youtube that are that good, but I did track down some photos from our very own production. I think maybe a professional photographer took this during dress rehearsal or something, though, because I sure as hell don't remember there being someone during the show!

So Bat Boy was played by Evan Marshall, Mrs. Parker by Stephanie Hawkins, and Shelley by Rachel Edson. And as artifacts of my experience, I imagine Westin and Leslie looking similar.









Sorry - this is like the only photo I found that had Shelley in it, and Rachel Edson was making such a passionate face. XD



And omg, when this guy first started strolling on set in those stilettos, everyone was giggling.



So, there you go!

After the performance, my friend and I were lingering around the theater lobby and I ended up standing right behind Stephanie Hawkins, but I had no nerve to interrupt her conversation to say she was awesome. Evan came out a little later and immediately hugged a girl who was waiting for him... I thought maybe it was his girlfriend, but a year later I went to see another play that had him in it and I got a pretty strong impression that he was gay, actually. Ah, but it doesn't really matter. :) I always feel like thespians are in another world, a world I could have belonged to happily if I had just taken baby-steps onto the stage instead of avoided it.

Let's not dwell on that, though.
