THE BEST DAMN THING - TEEN NIGHT with Talkback after the show
Friday, April 17, 2026
In 2002 the Lord sent us a prophet: A Canadian Queen who waged war against the status quo one loose necktie at a time. A rebel with a soft side. A Pop Punk Princess with an army of disciples who believed in earnest that ordinariness was death and that a red “X” on the sleeve of their leather jacket was life.
We refused to listen to her, and look where we are now.
Enter: Ellie, a lonely teenager growing up in Missouri, who knows with all her heart that Avril Lavigne's message must be heard. So, for her savior, she has written what just might be the best jukebox musical ever conceived.
She’s ready to share it with the world, starting with her former best friend Rachel, their theatre teacher’s favorite, who she thinks can help her pitch it for their school’s spring musical.
The Best Damn Thing is a boldly theatrical exploration of young women’s genius and power
in the face of a society hellbent on holding them back.
