6th Street Playhouse presents Bad Seed

“A well-paced stage thriller – campy fun mixed with psychological overtones.”
—Jeffrey Ellis, Broadway World

Beneath the charm and perfect manners of young Rhoda Penmark lurks a chilling darkness. When a classmate dies under mysterious circumstances, her mother, Christine, begins to suspect the unthinkable—could her seemingly innocent daughter be a murderer? As Christine digs into her own past, she uncovers disturbing secrets that challenge everything she believes about nature versus nurture.

Set against the backdrop of 1950s suburban life, Bad Seed is a gripping psychological thriller that explores the terrifying idea of a child with a natural capacity for evil. Adapted from William March’s novel, this Broadway classic keeps audiences questioning: Are monsters born, or are they made?
