Partly Cloudy Lawrence Woodmere Academy rocks to ‘13: The Musical’ with Andrew Barth Feldman
One of Lawrence Woodmere Academy’s most youthful and famous alumni returned to the nonsectarian private school in Woodmere for benefit on March 3 to raise money for LWA’s performing arts program.
Andrew Barth Feldman, who played Evan, and his Zneefrock Productions presented “13: The Musical” where after moving from New York City to Indiana, a 12-year-old navigates his parents’ divorce, his impending bar mitzvah and his new school’s social circles.
The cast included Kuhoo Verma as Patrice, Krysta Rodriguez as Lucy, Ryan J. Haddad as Archie, Antonio Cipriano as Brett, Gracie Lawrence as Charlotte, Sam Primack as Malcolm, Alyssa Wray as Cassie, Gían Pérez a s Eddie, Sophia James as Molly, Frankie Rodriguez as Richie and Joe Serafini as Simon.
The Sunday night show collected more than $30,000 in ticket sales. A final amount will be tallied by the end of the week, school officials said.
What was considered a magical event was performed in the Barbra Barth Feldman Performing Arts Center, formerly Hessel Hall, on the LWA’s campus.
It is named for Andrew’s mother, who graduated from school in 1982, and served as the summer camp director before being named head of school in January 2019. She died of cancer that August.
