Margaret and the Wampus Cat
By Katie Myers
Directed by River Navaille
Studio Theatre
Deep in the woods of Appalachia, the demonic Wampus Cat waits to drive you mad – at least, that’s how the story goes. Margaret, a restless high school dropout searching for a place to belong, takes it upon herself to hunt down the beast and become a hero. But the Wampus Cat doesn’t seem to want a fight, and instead offers a curious bargain - she'll tell three tales, and after Margaret listens to them, she can decide whether she still wants to kill the cat. What follows is a story of vulnerability, resilience, and self-discovery; a story of present-day queer love and shape-shifting, based in East Tennessee legend.
