LOCAL schools Eden College and Glenwood High School are teaming up to present 13 The Musical, with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown. The original book was written by Dan Elish and Robert Horn.

Following a move from New York City to a small town in Indiana, 12-year-old Evan Goldman (played by Glenwood High student Aaron Fields) grapples with his parents’ divorce while preparing for his upcoming Bar Mitzvah. He tries to befriend Brett Sampson (played by Nelson Bachiga of Glenwood High), the most popular kid in the school, because if Brett comes to his Bar Mitzvah, everyone else will come.
