About the Show: Carrie White is a teenage outcast in the small town of Chamberlain, Maine. At school, she’s tormented by her peers, and at home, she’s controlled by her domineering mother. But Carrie has just discovered a secret power within herself—a power that, when pushed too far, will change everything.

The musical, set in the present, features a book by Lawrence D. Cohen (screenwriter of the iconic 1976 film), with music by Academy Award winner Michael Gore and lyrics by Dean Pitchford. This chilling story is brought to life through incredible performances, gripping music, and a storyline that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Important Note:
This show is rated PG-13 due to mature content. It contains references to menstruation, sexual assault, mature language, homophobic slurs, and portrays instances of abuse, bullying, mass violence, and religious extremism.

Whether you’re a fan of the original story or a theater enthusiast looking for something different, Carrie: The Musical is a must-see event this October!
