All Ivy Germaine wants is to fit in with the other students at her new high school. But not many high school students are piano prodigies who play concerts with professional symphonic orchestras. With her new friends, Ben, an aspiring stand-up comedian, and Laurie, an artist, she hopes for a fresh start where she is accepted for herself and not for her piano playing abilities, which she keeps a closely guarded secret. But when her proud father leaks word of her talent, Ivy is pursued to perform in the school talent show by both the school principal and by “The Machine” — the in-crowd clique which dresses, thinks, and even talks as one. Can Ivy stop hiding who she really is and still be treated like a normal teenager?
This humorous yet profound exploration of identity and individuality is ideal for contests and one act festivals.
