Something terrible has happened to young Abilgail, a.k.a "Billy." A horrible shadow of a person has stolen something very valuable to her and it looks like she may never wake up. It's now up to her brother and sister to journey a vast distance and face that most horrid villain in order to save their darling "Billy Sleepyhead."

Just saw Webb's play - Billy Sleepyhead. It is ridicuously good. Funny, dark, perverse, absurd, heartfelt. Jill and the kids have done a great job. And Charles plays a sick, demented, sad Dr. - come on does that sound perfect or what? Everyone who can go - should. Any one who can't - change your plans.
~ Padraic Lillis (LAByrinth Theater Company)

i mean it--this is the best show out there. go go go!!! charles is fantastic and god can he sing. don't hesitate. go now. 
~ Trevor Long (LAByrinth Theater Company)

congratulations!! really really really billy sleepyhead was A W E S O M E! i was smiling so wide the whole night that my cheeks are sore today. the performers were all fabulous - great character work from everyone and the staging and energy was exuberant. it was just a great show! and the viBe girls LOVED it also. a couple of them had never really been to the theater before and it set a high bar- i know that seeing it has inspired them to work hard for our show at the end of the month. so congrats to you and to everyone.
