Welcome to Blandsville, where we only have harmony and certainly no mystery. But when a group of ex-mystery solvers move into town, we see there's a lot more going on than meets the eye. As rumors swirl about the enigmatic Strange family and missing pets, it's up to our retired sleuths to crack the case and restore peace to their new home.

Developed by CO/LAB’s Musical Theater Production class with a book by A.A. Brenner, and music and lyrics by Jack Mitchell, Strange! The Musical is a funny and heartwarming original musical mystery that celebrates community and the true meaning of family.

Strange! The Musical is appropriate for the whole family (age recommendation 8+) and runs for 50 minutes.

About Pay-What-You-Will Pricing

At CO/LAB, we strive to make our performances accessible to everyone. While our standard ticket price, $20, helps cover some of our expenses, it alone doesn't fully cover the costs of production and venue rental. 

If you're in a position to do so, we encourage you to consider contributing at a higher ticket price level. Your support allows us to continue creating meaningful experiences and ensures the sustainability of CO/LAB for years to come.

  • This tier reflects our commitment to keep our ticket prices affordable and shows financially accessible. If this level is not accessible for you at this time, please let us know at rsvp@colabtheatergroup.com. We'd love to find a way for you to join us!

  • Contribute a little extra to assist CO/LAB in covering production costs.

  • This tier reflects the true cost of our rental expenses for this production. If everyone purchased a ticket at this price point, we would break even on our production costs.

  • Make a significant impact by helping us sustain our programs and initiatives.

  • Become a champion for inclusivity and accessibility in the arts with your generous contribution.

  • Your contribution helps ensure CO/LAB's continued success for years to come.
