"Bad Seed" opened January 27 at Wheaton Drama's Playhouse 111 to positive audience and critical response.

Gary Patterson, who saw the show opening night, said that he and his wife were "thoroughly entertained" and "This show deserves an audience! Get there!"

Audience members who were initially hesitant about the show's subject matter were won over by the excellent performances in this classic thriller.

Reviewer Joe Stead of steadstylechicago.com observed that director Jeni Dees "keeps her actors thoroughly grounded in honesty and period accuracy. The play succeeds in creating a slightly off balance and creepy end desire." He praised the cast, especially Hannah Klose as Rhoda Penmark and Amy Royle as Christine Penmark, concluding that "this is a good production of 'Bad Seed'."

"Bad Seed" plays Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, and Sundays at 3pm through February 19. Tickets are available at http://www.wheatondrama.org, or by calling 630-260-1820.
