Everett Community College theater students will perform the coming-of-age drama “The Rise and Rise of Daniel Rocket” March 8-18 at EvCC’s Baker Hall, room 120.

“The Rise and Rise of Daniel Rocket” is the tale of a 12-year-old boy who believes he can fly – a belief that causes him to be shunned and ridiculed by his classmates, except for his best friend. Twenty years later, after becoming rich and famous, he returns to his hometown.

The play, an off-Broadway show written by Peter Parnell, is a frank look at the challenges of growing up different.

The play includes mature content and is not suitable for children younger than 10. Admission is by donation.

The play is at 7:30 p.m. March 8, 9, 10, 17 and 18. On March 18, there’s also a 2 p.m. performance.
