Middle schoolers from The Players Studio, the training wing of the Sarasota Players, stage Between the Lines Jr. It is the youth edition of a musical based on the 2012 young-adult novel by Jodi Picoult and her daughter, Samantha van Leer. Delilah, a lonely bookworm at a new school, escapes into her favorite fairy tale until the line between the story and her own life starts to blur. The full-length show has a book by Timothy Allen McDonald and songs by Elyssa Samsel and Kate Anderson, who wrote for Apple TV+'s Central Park. It premiered at Kansas City Rep in 2017 and played Off-Broadway in 2022. Music Theatre International's JR. edition cuts it down for young casts.
