Charley Maplewood has never been one for parties, because that would require friends, which he doesn’t have. Well, unless you count his monster friends, but they’re only imaginary. But now that he’s turning ten, a.k.a. "the big one-oh," he decides to throw a birthday party for himself, complete with a House of Horrors theme. Of course, things don’t work out as he plans. Will Charley be able to pull it together before the big one-oh becomes the big oh-no? Based on the beloved book, the show features lyrics by Academy Award-winner Dean Pitchford ("Fame"; "Footloose") who is also the author of the novel, and music by three-time Tony-winner Doug Besterman ("The Producers"; "Fosse"; "Elf"; "Young Frankenstein"), and a book by iTheatric's award-winning playwright Timothy Allen McDonald (Roald Dahl's "Willy Wonka"; "James and the Giant Peach"). The cast features 24 roles plus an ensemble, so it's a perfect choice to involve as many young performers as you can.
