(JERSEY CITY, NJ) -- Skyline Arts Summer Intensive Program (Grades 4-12) and Art House Productions present 13 Jr. The Musical from July 26-27, 2025. A true coming-of-age musical, 13 JR. is made especially for adolescents with a universal message about friendship and being true to yourself.
"Cool" is sometimes where you least expect it in this coming-of-age musical about fitting in. With a catchy rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years, The Bridges of Madison County) and a hilarious book by Tony winner Robert Horn (Tootsie, Shucked) and Dan Elish (13), 13 JR. tells a timeless story about fitting in - and standing out!
Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents' divorce. Now the new kid at school, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?
Performances take place Saturday, July 26 at 6:00pm; and Sunday, July 27 at 1:00pm & 5:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Art House Productions is located at 345 Marin Boulevard in Jersey City, New Jersey.
