Experience the magic of live theater for Out of the Box Production’s performance of The Popularity Pandemic, which tells the story of a group of friends who suddenly catch a “popularity bug.” Soon, everyone is worried about being cool and fitting in, and they start to forget what really matters: kindness, friendship, and being themselves. One brave student must find a way to stop the “pandemic” before it takes over the whole school!
Come laugh, think, and cheer along as we explore what it really means to be yourself at KidStage!
