A new play about cheerleaders opens at the New Village Arts Theatre on April 4, 2009. Be Aggressive, by Annie Weisman, is the story of Laura, a 17-year-old cheerleader whose life turns around when her mother is killed in a car accident, according to Dramatists.com.

. . . she is thrust into the role of caregiver for her precocious younger sister, Hannah, and her brittle father, Phil. Escape comes in the form of a ferocious fellow cheerleader. Leslie has a brochure about the Spirit Institute of the South, a two-week intensive where they can learn real cheer, the kind with Bible belt intensity. All they need is two weeks and a thousand bucks.

We won’t tell you the rest except to say that the story takes place in “Vista Del Sol” which most will recognize as San Diego. The play is directed by Kristianne Kurner and features NVA ensemble members Dana Case, Amanda Morrow, Daren Scott, Amanda Sitton and Rachael VanWormer with Caitlin Kunkle, Rachel Robinson and Alyssa Schindler.

Be Agressive runs April 4 to 26, 2009 nightly at 8 PM Thursday through Sunday with a matinee on Saturday at 3 PM click here for tickets. (Pay what you want previews are April 2 and 3)
