CARRIE: THE MUSICAL
A LAB PRODUCTION

Book by Lawrence D. Cohen
Based on the novel by Stephen King

Set in the present in the small New England town of Chamberlain, Maine, Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it.
