OUR PERFORMANCE OF Learning Curves

Learning Curves written and performed by by Jake Lipman / August 27th, 2025 @ 7:30pm

Directed by Susan Gross

A precocious girl named Jake grows up loving school, its rules, and singing in choir.

But the year she turns twelve, Jake develops early and is spurned by the popular girls. When a teacher crosses the line, school ceases to make sense anymore.

Years later, she’s invited back to a middle school reunion.

Are there lessons to be learned by revisiting the past, people, and places that shaped you?
