Barn Junior to Stage 13

Barn Junior, the Barn Players group of very talented local middle and high school students, will present the pop/rock, musical comedy "13" at the Barn Players Theatre, 6219 Martway in Mission, January 13-24th.

"13" is a coming of age, hilarious musical about discovering that "cool" is sometimes where we least expect to find it. "13" is the story of Evan Goldman, who at the age of 12 is plucked from his Jewish surroundings in a preteen New York City life to a small Indiana town, with his mother, following the divorce of his parents. With the change Evan needs to become a part of the complicated social circle at his new school with emotions, laughter and memories providing priceless adventure as he also prepares for his coming Bar Mitzvah.

The award winning, pop rock musical score is by composer Jason Robert Brown and includes: "13" / Becoming a Man", "Hey Kendra", "Getting Ready", "Being a Geek", "Brand New You" and more.
