‘The Perfect Monster’ invades a stage in Midtown

“The Perfect Monster” is invading the stage at TADA Youth Theater, Jan. 19 to Feb. 19.

TADA! Youth Theater presents “The Perfect Monster,” the tale of Sybil, a young science nerd who compares herself to so-called “perfect” people. A perfect friend is what she needs, or so she thinks. To solve this issue, Sybil sets out on a mission to create the perfect friend in the basement of her castle. With a few bumps along the way, Sybil is left with a room full of marvelous, yet mischievous monsters.

This original production is a book by Janine Nina Trevens with music and lyrics by Deirdre Broderick.
