What's a mother to do?

What would happen if our world was suddenly catapulted into the realm of insect ethics? Eat or be eaten. "Red Bug" explores the ethics and morality of survival in a laugh-out-loud and thoroughly disgusting comedy. Based on the life of the Japanese Red Bug and paying homage to Noh Theatre, Red Bug is a hilariously thought provoking story that will make you crave more from this new young playwright.

The author, Jonathan Fitts, was the winner of the Best New Short Play from the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Region IV in 2011 for this script and this production has been invited to the Regional Festival in February, 2012.

Don't miss it's world premiere here at Old Dominion University.
