The PAC Youth Theater Program , 2011 presented “Anne Frank & Me” by Cheri Bennett, directed by Dr. Ronnie
Spilton. Twenty students were cast or are on the tech crew. Students from Highlands School, Blue Ridge School,
Summit Charter and four home schooled students are participating.
In 2010, forty students from the area elementary grades (17) and high schools (23) participated (6% of the student
population). In addition, five hundred Youth Theater supporters came to see the production. The program has
grown every year. It is the hope of the Board of Directors of the Martin Lipscomb Performing Arts Center that this
program continue to grow and expand for the benefit of all the students on the plateau, thus filling a void in our
community.

2013 Performance of John Lennon & Me
The winner of many national awards, this
uproarious play about life, death, power and first
boyfriends was adapted by the author from her
popular book, Good-bye, Best Friend (Harper
Paperbacks, 1993). Hollywood-wannabe Star, the
ultimate Beatles fan, has her path stymied by
cystic fibrosis, an inherited disease that assures
a young death. She spends most of her time in
the hospital, where she confronts fate with
imagination by surrounding herself with MTV-
inspired bodyguard Flunkies and 'morphing' her
dreaded therapy nurse into a pro-wrestler. Then,
Star gets a new roommate, Courtney, who is
Star's opposite�a pretty cheerleader and
apparently 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 living
life to the fullest.
