A.C.T.'s Young Conservatory Program presents
The Code
by The Kilbanes
Directed by Jessica Holt
A new pop-rock musical from the Kilbanes.
When seven students at Valhalla Academy unearth a secret message in the library, they discover their uptight prep school used to be a sanctuary for trailblazing young women . . . until someone burned down the school. Piecing together letters, journals, and yearbooks, the students must find the real stories about the school's origin, and the true cause of the fire. As we switch between following the boldly curious students of 1919 and their 2020 counterparts, The Code asks: What does it mean to be a good student? Who has the right to an education? And what if we reimagined what school could be?
"I am so thrilled to see this project come to life," said MacLean. "With the Kilbanes' incredible score, and a book written specifically from the perspective of current day high schoolers, The Code is a special show that will appeal to audiences of all ages. The creative team working on this project are comprised of local and national professionals whose expertise and guidance in the development of this piece alongside the young actors is uniquely exciting. I'm so proud of this show and look forward to a life for it beyond this world premiere production."
