21 Chump Street
21 CHUMP STREET by Lin-Manuel Miranda (IN THE HEIGHTS, HAMILTON) is a new musical based on a true story as reported in the series ‘This American Life’. 21 CHUMP STREET is a cautionary tale of a high school honours student who falls for a cute transfer girl. He goes to great lengths to oblige her request for marijuana in the hope of winning her affection - only to find out that his crush is actually an undercover cop planted in the school to find drug dealers.
21 CHUMP STREET discusses the ramifications of peer pressure, conformity and drug use in our schools with a message that will stay with teenagers long after they leave the Terry Fox Theatre.
