The world premiere of this show will be the Senior Project for 11 long-time Crystal Theatre high school students — Stephen DesRochers, Kim Fusci, Emily Katz, Jessica Labbadia, Nicole Monahan, Nina Negron, Shelby Spezzano, Courtney Thomas, Jason Tyler of Norwalk; Allie Shapiro and Victoria Esposito of Stamford).

Performances will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 6, and 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, February 7, in the Crystal‘s Performing Arts Center, Bayview and Hillside Avenues, South Norwalk. Tickets are $12.00 adults; $10.00 seniors; $7.00 children aged 16 and younger. Tickets can be purchased on-line and directions to the theater are available at www.crystaltheatre.org.

“Coming of Age” focuses on the lives of nine female high school seniors and their imminent move to college. “Along the way,” says Kulish, “the girls learn lessons about friendship and responsibility and begin discovering who they really are. The professional rivalries of two male teachers spike up the action in the play.”
