Back to the 80s
by Dean O'Carroll


Highlights
Synopsis
Hold on to your hoverboards, we’re taking a trip back to the 80s!
When modern teen Mary Fitzfry gets sent back in time by an eccentric professor, she finds herself in the middle of a totally tubular cavalcade of 80s pop culture.
There’s a lot of familiar faces, from the teens in breakfast-time detention to the guys chasing ghosts and dancing zombies, but the biggest surprise of all is Mary’s own protective mom as a teen.
Turns out she’s actually kind of rad – but thanks to Mary’s time travel, she’s in trouble.
Can Mary make things right?
This adventure takes you from the mall where everything happens, to a suburban sitcom street, to a cave under the high school – and you can choose who to feature from a flexible throng of characters to bring your audience maximum nostalgia.
A hilarious parody to make all ages cheer “I love the 80s!”
