BE MORE CHILL
Cain Center for the Arts partners with Melissa Ohlman-Roberge and Metrolina Theatre Association on a brand-new initiative that puts the area’s most skilled theatre students together with a challenging piece of musical theater for an exciting process resulting in a unique staged concert. Our first production is BE MORE CHILL, a musical with original music and lyrics by Joe Iconis, and a book by Joe Tracz (The Lightning Thief). Based on the 2004 novel by Ned Vizzini, the musical follows Jeremy Heere, an average teenager until he finds out about “The Squip,” a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with Christine, an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to survive life in his suburban New Jersey high school.
