It’s yearbook awards time at John Hughes High, where everyone is fabulous and jockeying for a top spot on the 1989 “Best of” competition. Everyone but the new kid, Samantha, who is miserable, invisible and looking to bail on JHH for a year abroad. The catch: Samantha’s depressingly impressive mom will only let her go if she’s named Most Friendly. Mom’s challenge sets Samantha on a quest to befriend every clique in school.

JHH is a perfect evening or afternoon of theater for elementary schoolers and beyond, complete with live music and fantastically talented kids. The story is a tutorial on building friendships and finding community set to an 80s inspired soundtrack -think GoGos, Thompson Twins, Queen. Uplifting without being heavy handed, the take away is there's a place for you no matter who you are, mistake's - even big ones - can be corrected and forgiven, and Mom really does know best.

John Hughes High: The 1980's Teen Musical won the 2018 Drammy Award for best original musical.
Ages: KINDERGARTEN AND UP
