     "Our show centers around a subject our cast knows well: teenagers," said director Lauren Stenzel. "We hope to give (our audiences) some insight into how the 21st century teenager
navigates these formidable years by making friends, losing them, and trying so hard to discover how their own voices can resonate amongst all the clutter our culture has a tendency to create."


     General admission tickets are $5 and available at the door.  For more information, call (847) 718-4000 during school hours.
