Raise the Barre presents…
Based on the bestselling novel by Jodi Picoult and Samantha van Leer and produced by Raise the Barre, the brand-new musical Between the Lines follows Delilah, a teenage girl navigating an estranged dad, her seemingly-absent mom, and relentless high school bullies. Her life seems unbearable until she discovers a fairytale and handsome Prince Oliver, who begins to speak to her from the pages. As she navigates the ups and downs of this coming-of-age story, what unfolds is a beautiful reminder that everyone has the power to “live the story you want, if it’s not the story you’re in.”
With Music and Lyrics by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson (the brilliant duo behind the Central Park animated series!) and a book by Timothy Allen McDonald and Jodi Picoult herself, this enchanting yet relatable story is loaded with fun musical numbers, presented just as magnificently as you’ve come to expect from this fantastic production company.
This performance is rated PG-13. Parental guidance is suggested for younger audience members.

- Saturday, June 6th at 2:00pm Homeschool Pay-What-You-Can
- Raise the Barre has been inspiring, training, and supporting artists since 2010. Did you know it all started with a dream to give homeschoolers access to a performing arts education? Over a decade later, that dream is very much alive on this stage, as more than 88% of the artists creating this production were homeschoolers themselves! Our show today is our way of honoring the community that believed in us from the very beginning, including the families, the students, and the supporters who helped make Raise the Barre what it is today. In that spirit, we are proud to offer this performance on a pay-what-you-can basis, so that everyone who wants to be part of this moment can be. Come celebrate with us.
