Popularity Coach is an original script for young audiences being developed by playwright Brian Guehring exploring gender expectations.

Rehearsed readings are on Saturday, June 8 at 7:30pm and Sunday, June 9 at 3pm. Tickets are available at the theatre’s box office beginning an hour before each reading.

The play tells the story of Cooper, a third-grader who desperately wants to be popular, but is unlike the sports-playing, superhero-loving boys in his class. His neighbor Mia also would like to be popular, but would rather play sports than braid hair and take ballet.

When popular seventh-grader Blake offers to be their Popularity Coach for a low price, Cooper and Mia sign up for the ten-lesson unit (despite scoffing from Blake’s rebellious older sibling AJ). Cooper and Mia have to eventually decide how much the price of being popular is really worth.
