BE MORE CHILL
High School. That exquisite brand of government sponsored, society endorsed torture that everyone between the ages of 13 - 18 must necessarily endure. Jeremy Heere is in the thick of it, and it is not going well. Jeremy just isn't Cool. Every day is a painful reminder of what he can't have - drunken parties, hot sex, cool clothes and even cooler friends. If only there was some kind of pill you could take that would tell you how to be - Some kind of ingestible computer coming out of Japan - Something that would tell you how to get everything you want by being the coolest guy in Junior high - Something with the voice of Keanu Reeves?

Directed by Artistic Director Richard Barletta.

When a new young officer joins the company, fresh and full of hope, the facades holding the men together start to strain, just as the moment of attack comes barreling...
