Middle school, ugh. It’s the WORST. Greg is determined not to be at the bottom of the middle school food chain. In attempts to boost his popularity ranking, he must navigate the chaos and woes of middle school and family dynamics with his best friend, Rowley. There’s absolutely no way Greg will be at the bottom of the popularity ranking, he’ll leave that to his weird classmate, Fregley… or maybe Rowley. But definitely not Greg!

Since its inception in 1999, the Cherry Street Players has introduced over 350 young people ages 8-14 to the artistic and technical fundamentals of theater. Students  participate in classroom exercises and instruction that culminate in the rehearsal and performance of a fully staged production each semester. All participants get a chance to showcase what they’ve learned and experience the excitement of performing live for the community.

The spring semester usually runs January to April and the fall semester runs September to December. Contact us to be added to the mailing list and get notified of new education programs as they are announced.
