Carrie White is a misfit. At school, she is an outcast who is bullied by the popular crowd,
and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s at the mercy of her loving, but cruelly
over-protective mother. But Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed
too far, she’s not afraid to use it …

* Youth and Teen Theater roles are only eligible to students who will be enrolled in our
Winter/Spring 2017 semester. Actors do not need to be enrolled at the time of the auditions,
however, participation in the actual production does require Beck Center enrollment in our
Winter/Spring 2017 semester. Students do not need to be specifically enrolled in a Theater class at
Beck Center to qualify. Students enrolled in a Winter/Spring 2017 semester class in Beck Center’s
Dance, Music and Visual Arts Departments are equally eligible.
