For those of you in the DC area August 6 & 7, I'd like to invite you to come see 'Senioritis,' a great new musical that was written by high school students from around the DC area! It is produced by Cappies International Theater.

Senioritis is a musical comedy about real high schools, set in the very competitive world American education has become, satirizing all the many elements that lead to so-called "senioritis." Today’s teenagers suffer anxiety about their relationships, parents, grades, college applications, and ambitions for the future. Many would rather pursue personal goals, but are forced into lives designed to impress others. Feeling burned out, high school seniors sometimes resort to drastic measures and forget about school altogether. This can have very negative consequences when all those years of hard work look like they’re not paying off.

Senioritis will be presented at 1 PM Sunday, August 5, at McLean High School ($10), and at 7 PM Monday, August 6, and at 1 PM Tuesday, August 7, at the Theater Lab of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. ($20).
