For our final episode of the season, we are excited to feature: 🎓 SISTER SCHOOL ✍️ Created by David Freeman Coleman Join us as we go behind the music and inside the creative process of this heartfelt new musical exploring identity, belonging, tradition, and change. “I hate this school!” The words echo through the hallways of the Victoria School for Girls — one of America’s oldest all-girls institutions and a school facing an uncertain future. As students question whether the school still has a place in the modern world, a new student, a returning alumna, and the head of school each search for a way to transform its atmosphere before time runs out. Can tradition evolve without losing what makes it special? Can a struggling community rediscover its purpose? And can the girls at the center of the story find their voices — and decide whether this is truly the place for them? Through music, humor, and heartfelt storytelling, SISTER SCHOOL explores the universal search for belonging and the courage it takes to create meaningful change.
