Arts and Athletics Club

Arts and Athletics Club is proud to bring our original mental health musical back to the stage to kick off our 2027 performance year!

​

In My Head is a very special project that was created to promote mental health awareness.

The goal of this show is to show what mental health looks like and to let people know that they are not alone.

​

We partner with mental health organizations in the county to provide resources at our show for anyone who may need it. 

​

We also reach out to community members to share mental health tips and stories.

​​

Let's bring people together, bring awareness to this important topic, and put together an amazing show!

Our Teen Musical Program

Our teen musicals are all about getting everyone involved who has an interest performing and creativity.

​​

Our teen musical program is offered to students in 6th-12th grade. Our goal is to give participants the opportunity to express themselves creatively.

​

Show Synopsis

When Becca realizes that many students at her struggling high school are dealing with pressures they keep hidden, she starts a mental health club to create a safe place where students can be themselves. As the group comes together, students from very different backgrounds begin opening up about the challenges they face: from academic and athletic pressure to loneliness, family struggles, grief, and feeling like they don't belong. But when the school pushes back against the club, the students must decide how far they're willing to go to stand up for themselves and each other.

​​

Price of program:

Because this is an unlicensed musical, we do not have our upfront registration fee to be in this production.

We ask each participant to bring in $150 during the run of this production.

The $150 can be collected through ticket sales, donations, program shot outs, business cards ads.

Character Breakdowns:

Becca — The passionate, optimistic founder of the Mental Health Club. She genuinely wants to help everyone and believes she can solve their problems, but she puts enormous pressure on herself to always be positive and eventually has to learn that she is allowed to struggle too.

​

Lolo Bronson — A sarcastic, alternative/“emo” student who uses humor and attitude to hide how much she is hurting. She is fiercely loyal underneath her tough exterior and develops a close relationship with Xavier, but struggles to accept help from others.

​

Xavier — A rebellious, sarcastic class clown who treats almost everything as a joke. He is unconventional, impulsive, and loves breaking rules, but underneath the humor he genuinely cares about Lolo and his friends.

​

Alyssa Hale — A high-achieving, disciplined runner who initially seems to have everything under control. She is extremely busy balancing school, athletics, and her family responsibilities, and her experience forces her to confront emotions and fears she had previously ignored.

​

Ryan — The popular football quarterback and natural leader of the group. Everyone sees him as confident and successful, but he secretly feels enormous pressure to be perfect in sports, school, and life. He becomes one of the more emotionally supportive members of the group and pairs up with Becca.

​

Hunter Weathers — The brilliant, quiet student who gets the only A in the class. He is humble about his intelligence and an excellent listener, but socially insecure and afraid to express his feelings, especially when he develops feelings for Ryan. He gradually becomes more comfortable opening up to his friends.

​

Quinn — An artistic, observant, and somewhat unconventional student. Her artwork reflects the darker thoughts in her mind, but she also uses creativity as a way to express love and connect with others. She is bold, mischievous, and fiercely loyal to her friends.

​

Tristan/Kristen — A deeply religious, sheltered, rule-following student who approaches almost everything through her faith. She is sincere and caring but extremely cautious about breaking rules or leaving her comfort zone, which makes her occasional attempts to be rebellious especially funny.

​

Brock — A freshman football player who idolizes Ryan and hopes to become quarterback someday. He is enthusiastic, friendly, and eager to impress the older students. He also develops a sweet friendship with Lolo.

 

Liza — The energetic school newspaper reporter who is constantly searching for a story. She is nosy, observant, and persistent, frequently turning ordinary interactions into potential newspaper articles. She ultimately uses her journalism to support the club.
