Synopsis

A hilarious satire based on the mega-musical Les Miserables. Tired of too much standardized testing in her high school, high achiever Anna Ullman stages a protest and finds herself crowned as the new principal. Ultimate power comes with its own problems (especially after death threats from the all-powerful State Board of Education), however, and soon Anna finds herself descending into tyrannical madness and imposing even more standardized testing. It’s up to her former best friend to lead a rebellion to bring down this new tyrant. Soon she’s manning the barricades and singing triumphantly awesome songs. 100-110 minutes. 8-28 females, 5-25 males (15-40+ performers possible). Ideal for middle schools, high schools, youth theatres, universities and community theatres. Published and performances licensed by YouthPLAYS (www.youthplays.com), publisher of plays for young actors and audiences.
