Hazelwood Jr. High
By Rob Urbinati
May 17-20 and 24-27
The Cellar Theatre
It’s 1989. Blue eyeshadow is in and hippies are out. Tiffany is so hot right now. Like something out of a John Hughes movie, six teenage girls traverse the halls of their high school.
See, there’s a new girl in town, Shanda. Amanda is totally in love with her. Melinda is pretty, popular and batshit crazy. Laurie Tuckett – she dropped out – is a psychopath. Hope is boy crazy and Toni can’t even get a date to homecoming.
It’s just another day at Hazelwood Jr. High. But, as relationships bloom and people get dumped, a revenge plot is hatched. Things begin to spiral out of control. Open laughter moves from uncomfortable giggling to deep, dark silence.
It’s totally whacked out.
