Is There Life After High School? chronicles the effects that our high school years have had on each and every one of us. Told through various monologues and songs, Is There Life After High School? reflects upon the quintessential high school moments that have made us who we are today. At times hilariously awkward - at times heartbreakingly painful - this production exposes the intimate and vulnerable memories of our high school days. The "Closing Notice" Series is a set of "living cast album" presentations focusing on classic musicals that were either dubbed a "flop", had short commercial runs or most likely will never be revived again. The Broadway show opened on May 7, 1982 to run only 17 performances (after a preview period of 48 performances). Tickets are $20 plus a 2-drink minimum and must be purchased in advance online through http://www.SmartTix.com or by calling 212-868-4444.
