It takes the traditional musical and re-invents it into a fresh personal look into early adulthood, with catchy songs to sing along to! In the sleepy town of Colma, a suburb 5 miles south of San Francisco, best pals Rodel, Billy, and Maribel find themselves in a state of limbo; fresh out of high school, they are just beginning to explore a new world of part-time mall jobs and crashing late night college parties. As newfound revelations and romances challenge their relationships with one another and their parents, the trio must assess what to hold onto, and how to best follow their dreams. 111 minutes, color, narrative All programs are subject to change or cancellation without notice. All selections are unrated; parental guidance suggested.
