A darkly comedic, stranger-than-fiction story of
team spirit turned teen chaos
Team spirit isn’t all that’s contagious during the Bandits' “best year EVER!” One by one, the girls of the high school cheerleading squad succumb to uncontrollable tics and outbursts from a mysterious illness. While the adults around them, and even Dr. Phil, try to determine the cause, their lives go full tilt.
Relationships are tested and the girls find themselves both shunned and branded as hysterics. Inspired by real-life events, Hysterical! is an angsty, cheer-filled portrait of teen girls in very modern times.
Featuring X’ydee Alexander, Kelly Eubank, Tia Hockenhull, Ana Gómez, and Tayler Jones. Jocelyn Letts is understudy.
