Drama

Coming Through the Rye, set in 1969, is a touching coming of age story of sensitive, 16 year old Jamie Schwartz, who is not the most popular kid at his all boys' boarding school. Disconnected from students and teachers, he believes he is destined to play Holden Caulfield, the main character of The Catcher in the Rye, and has adapted the book as a play.

VIBE

A tender, introspective journey through adolescent alienation. It captures the awkwardness of finding your voice and the intense, sometimes isolating, passion of artistic creation. Feels like a quiet, thoughtful exploration of a sensitive soul.
