music, lyrics & book by Zachary Bernstein
directed by Guy Picot
First Reading: June 26, 2013
Being seventeen is hard. Reaching eighteen is harder.
Central Europe in the fourteenth century: Eleanor’s having a hard time being a new girl at Friedlichburg High. She has to deal with mean girls, dumb boys, her racist Aunt Mimi, and the Black Plague. But she doesn’t let it get her down until her ex-boyfriend shows up and everybody starts dying. Everybody’s Got the Plague is a new musical featuring original songs in the style of ’50s pop and ’60s soul.
