JOHN LENNON & ME, Spotlight Youth Theatre, March 4 to March 13, 2016

by Cherie Bennett

Ages 12-19

The winner of many national awards, this uproarious play about life, death, power and first boyfriends was adapted by teh author, Cherie Bennett from her popular book, “Good-bye, Best Friend.” Hollywood-wannabe Star, the ultimate Beatles fan, has her path stymied by cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that assures a young death. She spends most of her time in the hospital, where she confronts fate with imagination by surrounding herself with MTV-inspired bodyguard Flunkies and ‘morphing’ her dreaded therapy nurse into a pro-wrestler. Then, Star gets a new roommate, Courtney, who is Star’s opposite; a pretty cheerleader and apparently not very sick. Neither girl knows much about the other’s world, but eventually they come to understand each other, and ultimately, themselves. This is a powerful play about living life to the fullest.

Fridays 7pm, Saturdays 2pm & 7pm, Sundays 2pm
