The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta October 27, 2012

The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta is an improvisational musical exploration of what it means to be a 'Real Tween.' It aims to discover more about this misunderstood age group. Inspired by the recent plan to close seven Atlanta schools including two middle schools, the Alliance Theatre asked middle school students to reflect on what a school closing would mean to them. Their responses in essays and interviews have helped shape The Real Tweenagers of Atlanta: The Final Assembly and are a reminder that demographics and redistricting affect flesh and blood 6th, 7th and 8th graders around town.
