TOTALLY AWESOME

Ronnie just doesn’t seem to fit in with her friends. Everyone likes her, but she feels that because she is a little bigger than they are, that they don’t really accept her. She decides to try out for the school’s volleyball team and her life changes forever. Ronnie quickly becomes the star of her high school volleyball team and, for the first time, her team is heading to the state championships.

All of her securities come to a head when a group of students start to taunt her about her body. She becomes overwhelmed, but at a critical moment she has to find strength through her inner spirit. This musical will resonate with every teenager who is going or has gone through the difficult journey of accepting who they are internally and externally.
