Photo Flash: WBT Presents 13 The Musical

WBT is proud to present 13 with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and a book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn. The production is presented by Lighthouse Youth Theatre Production and directed by John Fanelli.

Evan Goldman, a thirteen year old boy, moves with his newly divorced mother from New York City to Appleton, Indiana, during the year of his Bar Mitzvah. Evan agonizes about fitting in with the "cool" kids and getting them to come to his celebration, while finding himself torn between them and Patrice, his quirky and not so popular new friend. Like kids everywhere, they suddenly have to survive classes, navigate cliques, hang with the right crowd and be "cool". In 100 song-filled minutes, 13 is their provoking, engaging story, told with contagious energy and humor with all-teen performers and a teen band

This production is directed by John Fanelli, produced by Diane Bradsell, Choreography by David Arzberger and Musical direction by Michele Deangelis.

They are required to take acting, dance, music and other theatre-related classes to improve on all of their abilities. They are also responsible for being part of the production team, working on costumes, playbills, sets, props and all things theatre. The Lighthouse Youth Theatre, located in Thornwood, was created in 2006 by artistic director John Fanelli. LYT produces three full scale productions annually, and runs two performing arts camps.
