When an 18-year-old social outcast leaves the banality of her gated suburban home for the shocking world of misfits, rebels, and prodigies at the Ghetto Art School, she's at once thrilled and frightened. This campy comedy promises to expose what really happens in the viciously competitive and often absurd institutions for formal art study. The show is part of the seventh-annual New York Musical Theatre Festival, a showcase for new, original musicals and undiscovered talent. Some, such as [title of show], eventually move on to Broadway — see it here first.

The American Theatre of Actors says…

18-YEAR OLD KITTY KATZ MAY be from the suburbs, but she’s no carbon copy. She klutzes and cringes her way through high school, hiding out, painting her bedroom walls over and over again, knowing there must be something bleepin’ special outside her gated community. So the day she gets accepted into the Ghetto Art School, she doesn’t hesitate, grabbing her sketchbook, hopping on the A-train, and leaving her lush mother and gay father behind for what she hopes will be a lifetime.
