Rockville Centre Guild for the Arts presents '13'

When his parents get divorced and he’s forced to move from New York to a small town in Indiana, Evan Goldman just wants to make friends and survive the school year. Easier said than done. The star quarterback is threatening to ruin his life and his only friend, Patrice, won’t talk to him. The school freak sees an opportunity for blackmail and someone is spreading the nastiest rumors.

With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, “13” is a hilarious, high-energy musical for all ages about discovering that cool is where you find it, and sometimes where you least expect it

“13” is directed by RVC resident Gina Naomi Baez and Daniel Quadrino, with Matthew DeMaria as musical director. The play features local actors Lauren Marie Baez, Julia Baxley, Bridget Berry, Aryn Brondolo Jackie Cano, Jacob Fine, Meghan Malone, Sarah Murray, Julia Pandolfo, Leana Paymar, Samuel Rachmuth, Sophia Ray, Keara Reynolds  and Harley Yeager.
