MEAN – a YPC Original

January 29 – February 14, 2027

Written by Rita Cannon
Music and Lyrics by Kymani Kahlil

This powerful and heartfelt YPC original musical about identity is an uplifting and honest exploration of resilience, empathy, and the power of embracing who you are.

Taylor wears plus-size clothing. Inam wears a hijab. Nick doesn’t have a girlfriend.  And that’s all it takes for these three teens to be singled out as victims by school bullies. As each of them navigates hurt, isolation, and self-doubt, they begin to discover they’re not as alone as they feel. With the support of teachers, family, and friends, they find strength in one another and learn that what makes them different is also what makes them extraordinary.
