Something Different

by Michael Scanlan

This ensemble play tells what happens in a small school and a small town when a boy decides to take another boy to the prom. Derek had no idea what the fallout would be, but he certainly couldn't predict that it would warrant media attention, or that his best friend, Charlie, would desert him. In the author's The play was presented to middle and high school students and families at LaSalle Academy in Providence, RI and the results were truly overwhelming. Not only did students and adults enjoy the play, many were greatly moved by it. The response was heartwarming. It made me proud of the kids who had worked on the play and of those kids associated with the school. From the author of Inside Out, Give and Take, Candid, Fortress, and many others.
