Midiculous Middle School. A laughably lopsided social “order” in which students are designated either Queen Bee, Jock, Geek, or Goth – and woe betide any who dare defy their thus declared destiny. Add to this sinister stew a mysterious zombifying virus spread through TikTok dances. How is one to survive all of this “Midiculousness?” By turning to… you. Yes, you! In this Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style world premiere by Drew Anderson and Dwayne Lawson-Brown (writers of FROM GUMBO TO MUMBO and PUSH THE BUTTON), you decide the outcome of a metaphysical game show where only the winner escapes the prison of pre-teen politics. Let’s get Midiculous!

Commissioned by Keegan’s Boiler Room Series initiative for new works and education program, Keegan PLAY-RAH-KA.
