Stupid Kids
Wednesday, September 22–Saturday, 25

Broadway’s Best Shows

Stupid Kids follows four students at Joe McCarthy High School as they make their way from first through eighth period and beyond, struggling with the fears, frustrations and longings peculiar to youth. With his magical touch, John C. Russell turns these familiar stereotypes into moving and provocative archetypes of adolescence whose lingo takes on a lyricism that is both true to its source and revelatory of the hearts and minds of contemporary youth.

This virtual production stars John Clay III, Lauren Patten, Ali Stroker and Taylor Trensch with stage directions by Christian Borle. Tickets are free with suggested donations benefiting The Actors Fund.
