Live Theater ~ The Mysterious Beast of Gévaudan

From Organizers:

The Star Dramatic Company will present its newest production, ‘The Mysterious Beast of Gévaudan’ at the Historic Star Theater in Willow Springs. ‘The Mysterious Beast of Gévaudan’ is written and directed by JoMartin Archuleta and starts Friday, July 21 and Sat July, 22 at 7 pm and Sunday, July 23 at 3 pm, and then again the following weekend, Friday, July 28 and Saturday, July 29 at 7 pm and Sunday, July 30 at 3 pm.

Inspired by actual events, our little tale takes place in the early fall of 1776 in a little remote village in the Gévaudan region of Southern France, under the reign of King Louis XV. Our story follows the struggles of a poor peasant family who were plagued by a mysterious beast. It roamed the countryside for three years attacking well over 200 people and killing over 100. Now, nearly 250 years later, it’s a gruesome piece of little-known history that remains a mystery to this day.
