Hall Pass is an immersive musical set and performed throughout a high school, offering a glimpse of the world young people navigate every day. Brimming with moments any former teenager will recognize and relish—as well as those they might rather forget—audiences choose their own adventure as they experience the trials and triumphs of the class of 2022.
Audiences receive a class schedule upon arrival and select a different course for each class period. The show consists of four “periods” in which audiences have multiple options. The options are all standalone short plays or musicals, each of which was created by a different playwright or composer specifically for this project. With only four periods and twelve or more options, every audience member’s experience is different. Will they hang with the cheerleaders, land in detention, or skip class to hide out in the Girls' Bathroom? Whatever they do or whomever they follow, one thing is certain: this isn't “High School Musical”.
The show includes mature themes and adult language, just like real high school. Hall Pass is produced by Blindspot Collective and presented by La Jolla Playhouse as part of the 2019 Without Walls Festival. Click here to learn more.
