BWW Reviews: First Stage Presents Poignant Adaptation of Spinelli's STARGIRL
Theater for Young Audiences (TYA) might be brushed aside, dismissed by adults who give this professional genre less significance. First Stage proves this preconception about TYA untrue when they opened an adaptation of Jerry Spinelli's 2002 New York Times bestselling novel Stargirl in the Todd Wehr Theater January 18. Award winning playwright Y York adapted the crossover novel read by adults and youth alike into a poignant character driven script filled with humor that delves into the difficulties growing up at 16 in high school. An age when remaining true to an independent personality with a belief in kindness and nonconformity suffers under peer pressure.
