The Un-Common Theatre continues their 30th season by presenting "13 - A New Musical" at the Orpheum Theatre, Foxboro, April 16th through April 18th . This hilarious, high-energy musical by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown opened on Broadway in 2008 and was the first show ever to feature an all teen cast.
When his parents get divorced and he's forced to move from New York City to a small town in Indiana , Evan Goldman (Alex Fullerton, Mansfield MA ) just wants to make friends and survive the school year. This is easier said than done. The star quarterback (Soyer Wilson, Westwood, Ma) is threatening to ruin his life and his only friend, Patrice, (Mikayla Sabatino, Mansfield MA ) won't talk to him. The school freak (Matt Hawley, Norwood MA ) sees an opportunity for blackmail and someone is spreading the nastiest rumors.
Lending their talent and expertise to the show are Director Christa Crewdson (Arlington, MA), Music Director Mike Moise III (Narragansett, RI), Music Director and Choreographer Julia Snider (Boston, MA).
