Title: 13 JR.
Presented By: Second Star Youth Theatre
Genre: Musical Theatre
Synopsis: With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, "13 JR." is a musical about fitting in and standing out! Just months away from his Bar Mitzvah, 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 or else his Bar Mitzvah could be a complete flop! Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!? Second Star Youth Theatre is thrilled to present the South-East QLD premiere of the newly-released Junior version.
