| How I paid for college : a novel of sex, theft, friendship & musical theater |
| Acito, Marc, 1966- |
| With this funny, moving, and dead-on novel, Acito becomes to high school theater what Chris Crutcher is to high school sports. Edward Zanni–fabulous, talented, and vulnerable in equal measure–is stuck: he's made it into Juilliard's prestigious acting program, but his father refuses to lay out a dime for a major that he considers unworthy. With an absent mother and a household income too high to qualify for financial aid, Edward feels doomed. Enter his friends, whose talents range from creative vandalism (giving makeovers to lawn ornaments) to embezzlement (from Edward's thieving stepmother). Between rehearsals for Grease and Godspell and secretly obsessing over one another sexually, they plunge into fraud, forgery, and blackmail in a desperate quest for tuition. |

...pass the time til next week's episode with one of these books on the joys and sorrows of high school (or college) show/band/choir/theater life. Expects hearts of gold and mouthfuls of snark. PS: Band Rules.
