Inland Valley Repertory Theatre (IVRT) will be presenting â13: The Musicalâ on several dates this month.
This adaptation of the beloved musical promises to entertain with its infectious energy, heartfelt performances and universal themes.
â13: The Musicalâ tells the story of Evan Goldman, an adolescent Jewish boy suddenly upended when he moves from New York to Appleton, Indiana. The stress of changing locations and a new school is accompanied by the social pressures of making friends that he can invite to his upcoming Bar Mitzvah.
âI believe all audience members will be inspired by this story and that it will serve as a reminder and an invitation to embrace who you are and trust that all you need to do is be true to yourself,â said Director Amanda Minano. âThe rest is left to the exhilarating journey that is life!â
The show will be presented on June 22, 23, 29 and 30 (Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m.) on the campus of Claremont High School at the Don F. Fruechte Theatre for the Performing Arts, 1601 N. Indian Hill Boulevard in Claremont.
Tickets are $35-45 and can be purchased online at www.ivrt.org or by calling (909) 859-4878.
