Story Theater Company Presents Badger

BADGER, by Don Zolidis

This story takes a dynamic look into the lives and friendships of several employees of the Badger Ordnance Works, one of the largest munitions factories in the US, during WWII. Facing dangerous work in a hostile working environment, five women form an unlikely bond through joy, heartbreak, and hope.

Directed by Brittny Rebhuhn.

Design mentors:
Heather Schulte, Production Design
Jake Feddersen, Lighting Design

Story Theater Company’s annual teen show is an intensive experience where the participants form a theater company to create a production. With the guidance of an adult director and two design mentors, the teens not only act in the show, but are also responsible for all sets, costumes, props, lights, dramaturgy, music, and stage management.

PLEASE NOTE: This production contains mature themes and intense moments.
