The cool kids rule high school.

In between serious drama for grown-ups, and high-energy wackiness for seven-year olds, there falls a shadow. And that shadow is called "High School Musical." But if you want to take your ninth-grader to a play that doesn't come from a corporate megalith, and is free of mercilessly catchy dance numbers, Griffin Theatre can be your guiding light. Its current production of "Be More Chill," adapted from Ned Vizzini's young-adult novel, has garnered solid reviews from critics across town. "Chill" focuses on Jeremy, a hopeless high-school dweeb, who, in a quest to be cool, swallows a tiny instructional supercomputer. Note: the play is pitched at high- and middle-schoolers, but does deal with teen sex and drug use.
