Synopsis:  This musical drama (similar to 13 The musical) explores the life of William Nash, a middle school boy with severe food allergies.  Set in Columbus Ohio in 1995, William moves to a new school and attempts to navigate the turbulent waters of Jr High School.  He is befriended by popular, athlete, Evan Roth who also struggles with the need to “fit in”.  This unlikely friendship faces life-altering choices, the importance of tolerance and empathy, bullying, choosing to do the right thing and the realization that some decisions have ramifications that last forever.  Through laughter, moments of triumph, resilience, courage and heartbreak, the lives of William, Evan and his peers will never be the same.  This ‘call to action’ musical drama ignites conversations regarding inclusivity, empathy and the seriousness of food allergies.  Let’s raise awareness together and make the world a little safer and a more compassionate place for everyone.

Production fee: $65 and 1 corporate program ad
