10 years of 13 - Celebrating a decade of 13 with a FREE READ!
13 is turning 10
It's hard to believe that nearly an entire decade has flown by since 13 bowed on Broadway. This innovative musical, with a pop-rock score by Tony Award-winner Jason Robert Brown and a hilariously authentic book by Dan Elish and Robert Horn, broke the mold on Broadway when it opened at the Bernard B. Jacobs Theatre on October 5, 2008. In an inspired creative decision, 13 was the first Broadway musical to have a cast and band composed entirely of teenagers (including a pre-superstar Ariana Grande).
13 is written specifically for those burgeoning towards teenage life, and Elish and Horn's sharp and witty book dives into universally understood experiences. The frustration and delights of these tumultous pre-teen times take center stage - and audiences of all ages will undoubtedly relate.
Since its general release to the amatuer market, 13 has been performed by almost 1,100 organizations in the US alone. To celebrate this history-making musical's 10th Anniversary, we invite to read Dan Elish and Robert Horn's script FOR FREE and listen along to the score by Jason Robert Brown.

The Red Velvet Cake War by Jones Hope Wooten In this riotously funny Southern-fried comedy, the three Verdeen cousins - Gaynelle, Peaches, and Jimmie Wyvette - could not have picked a worse time to throw their family reunion. Their outrageous antics have set tongues wagging in the small town of Sweetgum (just down the road from Fayro) and the eyes of Texas are upon them, as their self-righteous Aunt LaMerle is quick to point out. Having "accidentally" crashed her minivan through the bedroom wall of her husband's girlfriend's doublewide, Gaynelle is one frazzled nerve away from a spectacular meltdown. Peaches, the saucy number one mortuarial cosmetologist in the tri-county area, is struggling to decide if it's time to have her long-absent trucker husband declared dead. And Jimmie Wyvette, the roughhewn store manager of Whatley's Western Wear, is resorting to extreme measures to outmaneuver a priss-pot neighbor for the affections of Sweetgum's newest widower. But the cousins can't back out of the reunion now. It's on and Gaynelle's hosting it; Peaches and Jimmie Wyvette have decided its success is the perfect way to prove Gaynelle's sanity to a skeptical court-appointed psychologist. Unfortunately, they face an uphill battle as a parade of wildly eccentric Verdeens gathers on the hottest day of July, smack-dab in the middle of Texas tornado season. Things spin hilariously out of control when a neighbor's pet devours everything edible, a one-eyed suitor shows up to declare his love and a shocking high-stakes wager is made on who bakes the best red velvet cake. As this fast-paced uproarious romp barrels toward its surprising climax, you'll wish your own family reunion was this much fun! License today! #joneshopewooten #dramatistplayservice
