Charlie HATES summer camp! After plotting her escape and sneaking out of her assigned cabin one night, she stumbles upon a friendly group of young campers deep in the woods. They promise to help Charlie get home, but she must agree to spend the night listening to their strange and spooky campfire stories. Will Charlie survive the night and their haunting tales? Will you? 
 
Local playwright & educator, Gina Montét, returns to The Lab with her newest show, commissioned specifically for our annual Heckscher Theatre for Families Production, based on spooky stories from classic literature updated for our modern times. Heebie Jeebies is a hilarious evening of thrills & mild chills and the perfect family outing for those who enjoy “Goosebumps” and “The Twilight Zone.”
