With a catchy rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, and a hilarious book by Tony winner Robert Horn and Dan Elish, 13 JR. tells a timeless story about fitting in - and standing out!
Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents' divorce. Now the new kid at school, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?
A true coming-of-age musical, 13 JR. is made especially for adolescents with a universal message about friendship and being true to yourself.
'13 JR' is being performed as part of our Senior, Ages 11-15 Weekly Theatre Academy classes on a Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. You can find out how to join the cast by clicking here.
