Cringefest

A One-Night-Only Celebration of Middle School
March 6, 2026

In celebration of our World Premiere of MIDICULOUS — a unique new Choose-Your-Own-Adventure play that takes audiences into the laughably lopsided social “order” of Midiculous Middle School — we’re inviting audiences to join us at Keegan for a chance to return to the awkwardness that raised you… and maybe survive it with a bit more dignity than the first time around!

Enjoy an evening of nostalgic fun and games, classic cafeteria snacks, and more! Come dressed in your middle school best to compete in our costume contest for a chance to win incredible prizes, and cap it all off with a Silent Disco of classics from the 80’s, 90’s, and early aughts.
