Evan’s life is turned upside down when he moves from New York City to a small Midwest town, and right before his Bar Mitzvah. Desperate to fit in, he finds himself navigating crushes, cliques, and chaos in this hilarious coming-of-age musical. With a catchy rock score by Tony® Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, 13 JR. is a high-energy celebration of friendship, growing up, and finding the confidence to be yourself.

Get ready to set sail for a swashbuckling good time as Center Stage Theatre brings a band of pirates (and an actual pirate band!) to the stage. This reimagined production cleverly combines beloved portions of the classic with updated rewrites - twisting traditional opera tropes into a version that is laugh-out-loud, witty wordplay meets sketch comedy funny. Expect big personalities, fearless comedy, and a "Jolly Crew" of performers who prioritize style and character over stuffy traditions. Whether you're a lifelong fan of the Major-General or a first-time pirate, this "ship of fools" promises to be the talk of the tavern. Four shows (including a sensory friendly option) with General Admission, Hackett Catholic Prep. Content suitable for ages 13 and up. SHOWS MARCH 27-29, 2026
