Lunch

a musical about love in the eighth grade

Lunch, everyone's favorite subject.

 

At Benjamin Franklin Middle School, lunch is everyoneís favorite subject.  First crushes and first kisses; best friends growing jealous of girlfriends and the all-important battle for Queen of the eighth grade formal dance. Developed at the Kennedy Center, LUNCH features a fresh, raw new punk/ska/rock score by Shawn Northrip, whose Titus X was featured at NYMF 2004.
