You Should Never Eat Your Heroes

Synopsis: All Betty wanted to do was meet her hero and ask a few questions about her book. But now her hero is dead, the body is gone and the cafeteria food is suddenly 87% more flavorful than it was the day before. It's Sweeney Todd meets high school in this dark comedy with scheming cheerleaders, mysterious loners and a couple of teens just trying to survive their daily lives with their dignity - and their bone structure - intact.

Notes: Flexible cast of 7-21+ females, 1-14+ males (9-22+ performers possible), suitable for high school and older. To be published by Playscripts in summer 2015.
