Cast of Piedmont Players' '13' to Perform at Arts Night Out, 6/22

Piedmont Players Theatre (PPT)'s youth cast from its production of the musical 13, with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown, book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn and directed by Reid Leonard, will perform a number at Arts Night Out on June 22, 2012, at 7 p.m. before the show's official opening at the Norvell Theater on July 12.

A grown-up story about growing up! When his parents get divorced and he's forced to move from New York to a small town in Indiana, Evan Goldman just wants to make friends and survive the school year. Easier said than done. The star quarterback is threatening to ruin his life and his only friend, Patrice, won't talk to him. The school freak sees an opportunity for blackmail and someone is spreading the nastiest rumors. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, 13 is a hilarious, high-energy musical for all ages about discovering that cool is where you find it, and sometimes where you least expect it.

The show runs July 12-14 & 20-21 at 7:30pm and July 15, 21 & 22 at 2:30pm. The box office will open to the public on July 9.
