Dada Teen Musical: The Play, written by Maury Zeff and directed by Gary Graves, explores the chaotic world of high school through the eyes of 17-year-old Annabelle, whose rebellious college application takes a Dadaist twist on The Sound of Music. Featuring a talented cast that includes Zoe Chien, Alan Coyne, Jacob Henrie-Naffaa, and Chanel Tighman, the production combines original music by Alex Mandel with themes of theater, Dadaism, and demagoguery. This world premiere, developed through the Central Works Writers Workshop, has resonated with audiences, earning enthusiastic reviews since its debut.
