Glenbard West Theatre to present ‘Between The Lines’ musical
Glenbard West Theatre will present its fall musical, “Between The Lines,” from Nov. 13-15. Based on a young adult novel by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer, music and lyrics by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson.
What if the characters in your favorite book could talk back? “Between the Lines” tells the story of when Delilah, a lonely teenager who finds comfort in reading, discovers that the handsome prince from her favorite fairy tale is actually real, and he can speak to her from the pages.
As Delilah gets pulled deeper into this world, she begins to question what’s real, what’s fiction, and whether she has the power to rewrite her own story. Filled with humor, heart, and a little magic, this show is a whimsical and moving musical, perfect for book lovers and dreamers alike.
“Between The Lines” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Thursday to Saturday, Nov. 13-15, in the auditorium at Glenbard West High School, 670 Crescent Blvd. in Glen Ellyn. Tickets are $14. Purchase tickets at search.seatyourself.biz/webstore/accounts/glenbardwest/buy-tix.
