Please Provide: Sheet Music for you audition, and resumes are suggested, if available. Please bring a current photo—this can be a professional headshot, but a current school photo works just as well.

SYNOPSIS:
Geek. Poser. Jock. Beauty Queen. Wannabe. These are the labels that can last a lifetime. With an unforgettable rock score from TONY Award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges Of Madison County, Honeymoon in Vegas), 13 is a musical 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. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, 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?!
