The Girl with Brains in Her Feet

Recommended for ages 13+. Teens $4, adults regular feature admission for this evening show. It's 1972 in Leicester, England. Jacqueline "Jack" Jones is thirteen, black, and running hard. As the only child of a single, strict, and neurotic mother, it's obvious what she's running from, but not so clear what she should be running toward. Caught up in the new, wild energy of teendom, Jack's rebellion takes many forms until she ultimately slams headlong into the difficulties of adulthood while struggling to prepare for the biggest test of her athletic ability. Fueled by a soundtrack favoring classic English rock over the overdone disco trend, Jack's race to grow up is funny, frank, and patently authentic. Forget Lola. Run, Jack, Run!
