13 The Musical at Bell Theater at Bell Works

13 The Musical follows Evan Goldman as he navigates through a sudden move from NYC to Appleton, Indiana after his parents go through a divorce. Now in this new town and setting, Evan must find his place between the nerds and the popular kids and to get all the “cool” kids to attend his Bar Mitzvah or his social life will be a bust. 13 is a coming of age musical that cycles through the different social norms and taboos that teenagers go through to find their place to establish who they are and learn that as we move along to find who we are, we all still have a little more homework to do.

13 the Musical features an unforgettable and iconic score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, (Songs for a New World, Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County) and a book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn.

13 The Musical will feature 26 NJ local youth actors: Charlie Costa, Robyn Alberto, Keegan Haack, Olivia Geller, Fiona Loughlin, Christian Paolillo, Darius Parker, Nathan Rapaport, Siena DeFilippis, Daisy Ifantis, Paige Della Universita, Ryan Goldman, Andrew Forde, Abi Ryan, Amelia Morales, Bella Yang, Chloe Carone, Darren Freeman, Evelyn Bilsland, Joseph Campasano, Julia McPherson, Mikayla Ayerdis, Reese Corrigan, Sawyer Massey, Sophia Jadach, and Zoe Wong.
