EPIC TALES IN EPIC FORMS
SHOCK! The Spine-Tingling Tale Of Miss Spidra
Playwright: Joseph Zettelmaier
“The library is closed, but I won’t tell if you don’t. My name is Miss Spidra… welcome to my parlor.”
Her fans never knew Joyce Billings. To them, she was Miss Spidra, campy host of The Night Parlor, Toledo's midnight horror movie show. Starting as a struggling actress trying to make her mark, Joyce finds herself becoming an icon, a celebrity. But her efforts to keep her beloved show alive cost her more than she could have guessed. Framed against a documentary about her life, Miss Spidra's journey through the monster craze of the 60s asks what lines one will cross to succeed.
Witness the dark side of success through the lens of a life half-remembered, as Joyce’s journey forces us to confront what lines we would cross to keep the lights on… and the monsters alive. Will you dare to face the real Miss Spidra?
