wild project will present a return engagement of F*CK7thGRADE with music, lyrics, and concept by Jill Sobule and book by Liza Birkenmeier, directed by two-time Obie Award-winner Lisa Peterson with music direction by Julie Wolf. The critically acclaimed musical memoir will return to the wild project, November 1-16.
With an adolescent romance and a brief rise to pop stardom, F*CK7thGRADE is a queer musical memoir about how we'll never get out of middle school, conceived by award-winning singer-songwriter Jill Sobule - whose 1990's hits include "Supermodel" and the original "I Kissed a Girl."
"This is a show for Sobule fans, and for a queer audience, but it's also for the many nerds who grew up to be the cool people." Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times (Critics Pick)
"Unsentimental, humorous and gently weird." Raven Snook, Time Out NY
"Delightful, poignant, and utterly charming." Mark Rifkin, This Week In New York
F*CK7thGRADE stars Jill Sobule, Julie Wolf, Kristen Ellis-Henderson and Nini Camps with Scenic Design by Rachel Hauck, Lighting Design by Oona Curley, Sound Design by Elisabeth Weidner, and Costume Design by Gina Ruiz & David F.
