Auditions for original musical play about bullying in Palatine
Join TesserAct Theatre Ensemble in bringing T. R. Frye's musical play to life. "Don't Call Me Jimbo" is a play that examines the bullying occurring every day in our schools.
James Elliott, a special needs student is being mainstreamed into the local high school. As he navigates the hallways, he discovers he is not alone as every student he meets seems to both experience and practice bullying in some form. A bright light is shone on the need for more compassion in our daily lives.
