Children of the Damned Corn
A World Premiere Written and Directed by Ron Megee
October 13-30 at Just Off Broadway Theatre

It’s 1950’s B-movie horror at its finest when Coterie At Night presents Children of the Damned Corn, Oct. 13-30 at the newly renovated Just Off Broadway Theatre, 31st & Broadway, Penn Valley Park.

The plot, created by director and playwright Ron Megee: After an accident, Milt and Betty end up in Gatlinville, once home of the World’s Largest Cream Corn Factory, but now a church run by a freaky child leader named Malaki. Will Milt and Betty survive? No. Can the Children of the Damned Corn be stopped? No. Will Malaki get you? Depends on how fast you can run through a corn field.
