Since its premiere in Jan. 2000, this energetic musical has thrilled school audiences with its dramatic songs, memorable characters and powerful messages. The youthful dialog and the realistic characterizations by this all-child ensemble create a palpable audience response in a school assembly setting. Post show forums with the cast have encouraged many school children to take
an interest in the performing arts. The extremely relevant issues of bullying and peer pressure are at the core of this musical. The New Kid has also served as the centerpiece for many school's anti-bullying program. The significant themes, combined with the dramatic story, funky dances, show-stopper songs, comic scenes and a powerful conclusion, have earned this show rave reviews at every venue at which it is performed.

The New Kid tells the story of Zack, a new student at P.S. 32, who is suddenly faced with the exciting possibility of being in the popular crowd. He is asked to perform 3 tests and do things he feels are not right. He gives in to peer pressure and takes the tests, but becomes increasingly unhappy as he realizes he is not being true to himself, and even hurting people in the process. In the end, he discovers it is best to follow ones own path and to just be yourself. His courage in standing up for his beliefs inspires his entire school to change. This timely piece uses satire to enable kids to see the dangers of bullying, peer pressure, teasing, cliques and hazing. It offers one possible solution to clique-related school social problems by showing a lead character who stands up for what he believes in.
