The Ethel Lampert Community Center has seen better days and may soon see its final days unless the teens, volunteers, and staff find a way to save it.  Some sleazy city council members want to bulldoze the place to redevelop and commercialize the neighborhood to bring them gobs of sales tax revenue.  But that’s not stopping the teens who frequent the community center!  From basketball players to computer nerds to artists, these down-on-their-luck inner-city kids have no place else to go, and losing the center would mean losing their home away from home. 

When they hear of a new talent competition on TV, the teens decide to form their own glee club and try out.  If they win top prize, they’ll earn enough money to keep the center open.  But working together doesn’t come naturally for these tough, independent teens, and they’re not sure they’ll be able to pull it off, especially with a city council that’s bribing the egotistical celebrity judges and a history of no one believing in them. 

Bursting with large rock and pop chorus numbers and a powerful, anthemic finale, this energetic, contemporary musical will have everyone believing in the power of community!
