of her loving but cruelly over–protective mother. But Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far…she’s not afraid to use it. Based on the bestselling novel by
<b>Stephen King</b>, this production features music by <b>Michael Gore</b>, lyrics by
<b>Dean Pitchford</b>, and book by <b>Lawrence D. Cohen</b>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

ourselves that we’re all human, and what does it cost to be kind?” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
