Evan Goldman is about to turn 13, and he can’t wait.
His life seems full of possibilities – until his parents get divorced and he is forced to move with his mom from big-city New York to podunk Appleton, Indiana. If Evan can’t get the coolest kids to come to his bar mitzvah, how is he going to survive the school year, not to mention, the rest of his life?
This musical about “labels that last a lifetime” will be presented by Second Act Chattanooga, a division of Christian Family Theater, on Friday-Sunday, July 26-28, in Lundy Hall of Brainerd United Methodist Church, 3415 Brainerd Road. Performances are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, 3 p.m. Sunday.
As Evan navigates the world of cool kids and nerds, jocks and cheerleaders, first kisses and heartbreak, he comes to understand what it means to be a friend.
This hilarious, coming-of-age musical is about discovering that “cool” is sometimes found where we least expect it.
With a bright, catchy pop score from Jason Robert Brown, equal doses of humor and pathos and a cast of talented teens, “13” is irresistible to grown-ups and almost-grown-ups alike.
This show is rated PG.
Tickets are $13 online in advance at www.secondactchattanooga.com/tickets.html, or $15 at the door.
