A Life Worth Living is a new dramatic-comedy musical that follows Gavin, a depressed teenager involuntarily sent to a residential mental health treatment facility. There, he forges bonds with the other teens while working with his therapist to reconcile with both his best friend and his father. Using music—a mix of contemporary pop-rock with hip-hop and jazz—and comedy, A Life Worth Living focuses on topics of platonic love, mental health, and suicide, while exploring themes of grief, acceptance, and radical hope. Book and music by Princeton senior Jeffery Chen, directed by faculty member Chesney Snow, assistant directed by sophomore Ava Adelaja, with music direction and arrangements by Vince di Mura, Lewis Center Resident Music Director and Composer.

Admission: Free and open to the public, however tickets are required for performances, available online at tickets.princeton.edu.

Accessibility: The Wallace Theater is an accessible venue with assistive listening device available. The November 15 performance will be open-captioned. Guests in need of other access accommodations are invited to contact the Lewis Center at least one week in advance at LewisCenter@princeton.edu
