Quirky characters and body parts in the freezer make “Betty’s Summer Vacation” a good choice for entertainment of a different breed this weekend.

The show, presented by a student production team of MSU’s Department of Theatre, is a humorous thriller with a variety of eccentric people involved, including a serial killer, a flasher and a sex manic.

Director Khalid Bhatti, a theater sophomore, said the characters in the play are a bunch of oddballs vacationing in a beach house owned by a bizarre landlady.

The haunted beach house has odd voices seeping from its walls and mutilated body parts in the freezer.

“Despite the bodies in the freezer, more of the show is comedy,” Bhatti said. “It will be entertaining, but at the same time test some traditional norms.”

The show’s content will cover anything from tabloid media and conflicts between mother and daughter to love problems.

“Betty’s Summer Vacation” runs at 8 p.m. today, Saturday and Sunday at the Studio Theatre, room 49 of the Auditorium. Tickets are $3 and will be available one hour before the play begins.
