From Beirut to Havana, and despite all efforts of the forces of cruelty and darkness, He is risen. As before, so again. For those of you looking for something secular to enjoy on this ancient holy day, I’d like to suggest a little musical about another odd character who emerged from a cave. The Weekly World News tabloid first reported on the West Virginia wonder in 1992, and five years later, on Halloween of 1997, the kid’s off-Broadway musical made its debut. You can enjoy a matinee production of Bat Boy: The Musical by Cal Poly Humboldt’s Department of Dance, Music and Theatre today at 2 p.m. It’s $15 or $10 for students and seniors to gawk at the freak and listen to his songs.
