Stranger Things: The First Shadow

About Stranger Things: The First Shadow

Stranger Things: The First Shadow is a stage production set in Hawkins, 1959, before the world turned upside down. The story follows young Jim Hopper, Bob Newby, Joyce Maldonado and new student Henry Creel as familiar small-town problems begin to unfold around them.

Brought to life by a multi-award-winning creative team, the production uses theatrical storytelling and stagecraft to take audiences back to the beginning of the Stranger Things story. It is a prequel that explores how the past reaches into the present, and how the events in Hawkins begin.
