What does it mean to be the Illinois Premiere Production of this play?
A free perusal of this brand-new play by Tracy Wells was presented in a Theatre Directors group I am a part of.  The synopsis sounded sweet, and the flexibility of the cast given by the playwright was very appealing for our group.  I really liked the story after the first read, so I passed it on to our assistant director, Lizzie.  She also really liked it; we could both picture it working very well for our students this year.  I got in direct contact with Tracy Wells herself to move forward and found out our production is the "Illinois Premiere", the first ever performance in the whole state. We are so excited to bring something fresh and new to life; the students have done a wonderful job creating these characters for themselves.  Thank you for coming to support them.  We hope that you enjoy this coming of age story as much as we have enjoyed putting it together to share with you. 

Lisa Groves - Director
