Campbell had all the makings for a cheertastic senior year: the perfect boyfriend, best friends, and she was just elected Captain for the Truman High School cheerleading squad! But an unexpected redistricting forces her to spend the year at the neighboring Jackson High School, a hip-hop urban school with NO CHEERLEADING SQUAD! Campbell begins to suspect foul play when Eva, a sophomore on the Truman squad, copies her looks, moves in on her boyfriend and, through a series of ‘unusual’ events, climbs the ranks to Truman Cheer Captain. With the help of her new hip-hop team, Campbell vows to take Eva down in the National Cheerleading Competition but can she beat her old team?

The Union County Arts Center is located at 1601 Irving Street, Rahway, NJ 07065

For teams of 8 or more use the code: CHEER.
