Summer of ’42

Based on the 1971 film and best-selling novel by Herman Raucher, Summer of ’42 is a new musical, adapted by David Kirschenbaum (composer/lyricist) and Hunter Foster (book writer). The show focuses on three teenage boys vacationing on an East Coast island during World War II. The boys set out to learn and experience all they can about love and life, with the object of their curiosity being three teenage girls. In the summer of ’42, between the innocence of childhood and the threat of war lay the discovery of the fragility of life and who we might become. The show stars Kate Jennings Grant and Ryan Driscoll. Gabriel Barre directs and choreographs.
