The winner of many national awards, this uproarious play about life, death, power and first boyfriends was adapted from the popular book, Good-bye, Best Friend. Hollywood-wannabe Star, the ultimate teenage Beatles fan, has been guaranteed a young death by cystic fibrosis. She spends most of her time in the hospital, where she confronts reality with her imagination.
When Star’s new roommate Courtney arrives, Star judges her as a pretty cheerleader who apparently is not very sick. Neither girl knows much about the other's world, but eventually they come to understand each other, and ultimately, themselves. This is a powerful play about the power of friendship and living life to the fullest is a must see for any middle and high school student.
