Monsters, robots and Jerry Lee Lewis tunes abound in the Bainbridge High School theater’s production of “Return to the Forbidden Planet,” a campy retro sci-fi musical based ever-so-loosely on William Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” and the classic 1956 film “Forbidden Planet.”

Rediscover a time when life and music were a little simpler in this timeless take on the classic story: boy meets girl, boy and girl meet mad scientist and then everyone gets attacked by a vicious monster.
