The Rose Theater (rosetheater.org) presents the world premiere production of Popularity Coach, an original play which offers a humorous look at a heavy question asked by kids everywhere: how do you find your way among your peers and yet stay true to who you are? Popularity Coach will run from October 7-23 and lasts approximately 75 minutes.

Popularity Coach follows Cooper and Mia, two grade schoolers, as they attempt to fit in among their peers. Cooper is just not like the sports-playing, superhero-loving boys in his class. Mia also finds it challenging to be friends with her female classmates. When a popular seventh grader named Blake offers to be their “popularity coach”, Cooper and Mia sign up, hoping maybe they will finally figure out how to win friends. But will Blake’s slick lessons on “How To Be Popular” make matters better…or worse?
