WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Perfect Harmony is an entertaining and amusing theatrical mockumentary about a championship high school a cappella group. Examining their lives, hopes and feelings, the audience learns not just about the members of the group but also about the true nature of harmony. The play tracks the rise and fall and rise of perennial high school a cappella powerhouse, The Acafellas, as well as their classmates and female counterparts, The Ladies in Red, as both strive to win Acapalooza: The National High School A Cappella Championship Jam.

The Essentials present Perfect Harmony, conceived and directed by Andrew Grosso, and written by Grosso and The Essentials.
