While poking fun at teenaged insecurities and superficial stereotypes, this fast-paced vignette-style play examines the obstacles and pitfalls of middle school and reminds all those who have already traversed that world that nostalgia isn’t what it used to be.

"It was a very different type of play as all characters were on stage the entire time and we tried to have constant activity. The audience loved it!! Lots of laughter!"
By Elaine VandeVorde - Director - West Central Community School District
"This play is hysterical! It's one of those 'it's funny cuz it's true' kind of plays. The actors, the audience (both adult, and students) ate it up!"
