Performance Club Theatre Company presents 13 JR., a meaningful coming-of-age musical with an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown (Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County) and a book by Dan Elish.

Evan Goldman is a twelve-and-a-half-year-old New Yorker who is going through some major life changes: his parents are getting a divorce, he’s been forced to move to Indiana, and his Bar Mitzvah is coming up. Surrounded by an array of new middle school students, Evan does his best to establish a good position in the popularity pecking order. 
Geek. Poser. Jock. Beauty Queen. Wannabe. These are the labels that can last a lifetime. 13Jr is a musical about fitting in – and standing out! Do you remember what it was like to be 13?
