The Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Grambling State University is pleased to announce its final production of the 2014-2015 season, The Bad Seed by Maxwell Anderson. Colonel and Christine Penmark have the perfect life and the “perfect” daughter, Rhoda. What’s perceived as a sweet, well-mannered child, Rhoda has a devilish side to her, especially when she doesn’t get her way, creating severe and destructive deeds. Curious about her daughter’s actions, Mrs. Penmark starts questioning Rhoda, especially after a classmate mysteriously drowns during a school picnic. What is revealed to Mrs. Penmark is more than just about Rhoda, but how bad seeds grow in us all.
