Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents’ divorce. Now the new kid at school, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain… or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?
A true coming-of-age musical, 13 JR. is made with a universal message about friendship and being true to yourself.

Evan Goldman – Not only are his parents divorcing, but he’s also moving from New York City to Appleton, Indiana, right before his thirteenth birthday. Since Evan is Jewish, he will finally get to have his Bar Mitzvah. Evan is a good-hearted kid who gets wrapped up in his excitement over his party and makes some less-than-stellar choices.
Patrice – She has big dreams of getting out of her small town. She’s clever and a bit shy and marches to the beat of her own drum – but, unfortunately, these qualities make her an outcast at school.
Archie – Patrice’s best friend. Archie walks on crutches due to his muscular dystrophy. He has a dark sense of humor and a general sense of urgency about living his life to the fullest.
Brett Sampson – The stereotypical “cool guy”. In addition to not being very bright, Brett isn’t a very nice person, although he finds himself in a genuine emotional dilemma over his feelings for Kendra.
Brett’s entourage:
Eddie
Malcolm
Simon
Richie
Cheerleaders:
Cassie
Charlotte
Kendra – The most popular girl in school and is generally oblivious to how much attention other people are paying to her. She’s genuinely nice, if somewhat shallow and a bit naïve.
Lucy – Kendra’s best friend. The quintessential “mean girl.” She’s manipulative, dishonest, insecure, and unapologetic.
Molly – One of the girls at school and quick to defer to Lucy. She is happy to gossip about the drama, though she’s never quite in the middle of any of it.
