About The Event
When a severe snowstorm traps students at a private all girls school, to survive boredom, Maude Carpenter—an eccentric misfit—convinces the other girls to stage her unhinged rock-musical parody of John Carpenter's 1982 cult-classic, The Thing in which an Antarctic research team of men is hunted by a homicidal, shape-shifting alien. What begins as a way to pass the time, quickly mutates into a loud, rebellious, theatrical uprising.
