Show carries PG‑13 rating due to adult language Schroeder cautioned that the musical contains some adult language and risqué jokes, classifying it as a PG‑13 script. [1]

Performance dates and venue announced The musical will run at the Theater at Violet Woods on March 13 and 14 at 8 p.m., with a concluding 2 p.m. matinee on March 15. [1]

Tickets available through theatre’s website Patrons can purchase tickets via the production’s page on the Pickerington Community Theatre website. [2]

  • Adam Schroeder (director and vice president, Pickerington Community Theatre): “One of the really nice things about this is that you don't have to have seen the 1988 movie to get what's going on… we’ve added some background gags that I think people will really enjoy.”; “This is a PG‑13 script, for sure.”
