When his parents get divorced and he's forced to move from New York to a small town in Indiana, Evan Goldman just wants to make friends and survive the school year. Easier said than done. The star quarterback is threatening to ruin his life and his only friend, Patrice, won't talk to him. The school freak sees an opportunity for blackmail and someone is spreading the nastiest rumors. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, 13 is a hilarious, high-energy musical for all ages about discovering that cool is where you find it, and sometimes where you least expect it.

Brendan Frye is minding his own business as a stereotypical outsider in his suburban high school when he gets a call that sends his life reeling. Combining the cliques and pressures of high school life with the drama and language of old school film noir, BRICK the Play is an intriguing take on life as an American teenager and the pressures and influences that come along with that.

Moose Flanagan has it pretty tough. Not only is his sister Natalie “different,” his family has moved to Alcatraz so his dad can work as a security guard and Natalie can go to a special school in San Francisco. Baseball? Not for this twelve-year-old who spends his afternoons looking after his sister and wondering about Alcatraz’s most infamous resident. This thoughtful adaptation of the Newberry Honor Book reminds us that sometimes the strength of a child is the greatest strength of all.

The Sound of Stars Reflecting
 

By Janis Craft   

  May 5 6 & 7 at 7:30pm

Elliot is dead. No, it’s not like that. He’s dead but it’s not a sad thing. Well, at least not for him. He’s so busy looking through his telescope down at Earth and listening to the millions of wishes being made there, he starts to forget he once existed. And what exactly is existence anyway? Through Elliot’s telescope we’re taken on a one-night journey, tuning into the lives of young people across the world who are wondering exactly that. Young people who think they’re alone in the darkness but still let their voices drift to the sky on at least some faith that somehow they’re being heard. But how will they ever know for sure?
