Ridgewood NJ, today Stacy Davidowitz & RHS alumni Ali Stroker . The Tony Award Winner & NYT Best Selling Author duo will be appearing at Bookends in Ridgewood for a Meet/Greet/Photo-Op/Book Signing SUNDAY, JANUARY 21ST AT 3:00PM.
Cut Loose!, the captivating sequel to The Chance to Fly, hailed by New York Times bestselling author Chris Colfer as “unique, inspirational, and full of heart,” is a compelling narrative crafted by Tony Award–winner Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz. This uplifting story revolves around embracing one’s strengths, standing out, and championing beliefs.
Embarking on eighth grade, Nat Beacon is filled with nervous anticipation. As the New Kid, and the New Kid in a Wheelchair, the school year begins on a challenging note. Friendliness seems scarce, and navigating the cafeteria requires assistance. Yet, amidst these difficulties, bright spots emerge—her best friend, Hudson; her swoon-worthy boyfriend, Malik; and her ultimate passion: theater. With a middle school theater competition on the horizon, the winning production earns the chance to perform on a genuine Broadway stage.
Nat is thrilled at this opportunity to shine and demonstrate her place in the new school. Impressing the director, she secures a role in the school production of Footloose! However, rehearsals prove to be incredibly stressful. Dance enthusiast Skye pushes for more intricate choreography, Malik becomes inconsistent in band practice, and Hudson’s sudden aloofness leaves Nat bewildered and isolated. As the pressure builds, Nat questions whether she can lead the show to Broadway and if pursuing theater without her friends is worthwhile.
