The Love Note is described as "the musical journey of young Jessie at a new school, where she attempts to navigate the lunchroom bullies, tween fashionistas and a new crush. Jessie's lonely school lunches are heartened by the tiny pink love note her mother packs into her brown paper bag each day, but once chief-bully Brittany bites into her snatched sandwich, Jessie knows she's in trouble. Facing the challenge with her magical friend Airy, they concoct a spicy strategy to help Jessie stand up for herself."

Glenridge Performing Arts Center is located at 7333 Scotland Way, Sarasota FL 34238.
