Turning “13”

Who doesn’t remember turning “13”?  It’s an awkward time with or without
the stress of moving to a new school and preparing for a Bar Mitzvah.  “13” is
a hit musical
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_theatre%20/o%20Musical%20theatre> with
lyrics and music by Jason Robert Brown
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Robert_Brown%20/o%20Jason%20Robert%20Brown>
and
book by Dan Elish, and Robert Horn.

12 year old Evan Goldman has everything and lives in the world’s greatest
city — New York. When his parents divorce he's forced to move with his
Mother to Indiana.  Uprooted from his old life, he must maneuver his way
through a new Jr. high school, while preparing for his Bar Mitzvah.  “13”
is a high-energy musical about growing up, coping with change and learning
that becoming who you want to be - begins with discovering who you really
 are.   “13” is a show written for teens, performed by teens and appeals to
the awkward teen lurking within each of us.  Director, Jill
Koslen-Freireich  calls “13” the “RENT” for teens.  It’s high energy, edgy
and at times may cross some lines.  The story is told from the mind-set of
a 13 year old boy.



This is the second time that Beachwood Community Theater has mounted this
production. All of the actors are ages 12 – 15 and reside in Beachwood, Solon,
Aurora, Shaker Hts., Mentor, Lyndhurst,  Twinsburg and Chagrin Falls. Some cast
members are presently preparing for their Bar/Bat Mitzvah and many cast members
will celebrate their 13th birthdays at rehearsals.   All of the
productions candy
and water proceeds will benefit Harvest for Hunger.  Archie, a character in
the story, lives with Muscular Dystrophy. The cast has determined that all
profits from flower sales will benefit ALS research and the
M.D.Foundation.  Beachwood's
motto When a group of people come together for a common goal like producing
the highest quality production they can why not also give back to the
community at the same time?
