As a one-time high school theatre geek, this book was right up my alley. I found it inspiring and fascinating. It was at its strongest when it followed the lives and happenings of the people directly involved in the theatre program. There were some frustratingly weak sections spent convincing the reader that the town was totally working class, which felt both heavy handed and long winded, or inserting the author’s own history and experiences, which felt unnecessary. Luckily these parts were skimmable and the bulk of the story was a compelling and immersive enough to make up for it.
