McLean Community Players Rocking Out with '13'

The McLean Community Players’ latest production, “13,” is underway at the Alden Theatre.

Billed as a hilarious coming-of-age rock musical with music and lyrics by Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown and a book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn.

Here’s the premise: “When Evan Goldman is forced to move from New York City to a small town in Indiana after his parents’ divorce, he must establish his popularity and avoid an ’un-cool’ label among his fellow middle school students.”

Even though the show features an entirely teenage cast, the stories and emotions in this memorable musical are timeless.

Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. through Feb. 15, at the McLean Community Center’s Alden Theatre, 1234 Ingleside Ave. in McLean.

Tickets are $23-$25 and are available at McLeanPlayers.org or by calling 866-811-4111. Group rates are also available. The production is suitable for ages 10 and older.
