With the phenomenal success of the 2006 TV film, a stage version was inevitable, and MTWichita was the first professional company in the U.S. to be granted the rights for it. An energetic, likable, and fully contemporary show, this is a great opportunity for teens of all abilities to shine. It also achieves a unique feat by bringing together the sports-minded jocks, the intellectually-driven brainiacs, and the drama-prone theatre kids, blending them into one diverse and lively community.
