LATE is a contemporary, character-driven new musical about a year in the emotional life of Wilhelmina “Billie” Jackson, her best friend Katie Williams, and six of their high school friends, all coming of age in the era of school shootings. It’s the gripping story of broken lives and newfound lives, of friendships put to the test, of the struggle to put the pieces of hope and wonder back together after violence blows them apart. How can they reclaim their futures? They are determined to make their voices heard in a country that wants to look away and move on.
