Synopsis
School's out, but the drama never stops at the superposh Orion Academy. Hartley Blackstone -- the famous director, producer, choreographer, and genuine Broadway icon -- has chosen Orion to hold auditions for one lucky guy and girl to attend his summer theater program in New York City.
Naturally, every wannabe-It girl and boy at Orion is going mad, prepping to win Blackstone's approval. With any luck, it could be Bryan and his BFF, Sam, stepping onto a Broadway stage.
But Mr. Blackstone, known for his notoriously harsh critiques, is capable of crushing hearts and shattering dreams with a single word. Bryan will need more than his snarky wit and cute smile for this one. He's got to bring it!
Now if he could just figure out exactly what it is....

Reviews
Once again expertly catching the High School Musical wave, Ruditis puts the drama geeks introduced in The Four Dorothys (2007) through another set of personal and stage-related crises at Malibu’s exclusive Orion Academy. The news that impresario Hartley Blackstone will be auditioning participants in Orion’s Summer Theatrical Program for two spots in his prestigious acting school electrifies Bryan—though not enough to distract him from scheming with buddy Samantha to help friends Hope and Drew get over their mysterious breakup. Wry, sensitive, and sitting comfortably in the closet, Bryan makes an engaging narrator, whose takes on privileged classmates, the la-la-land setting, the craft of acting, and his own emotional highs and lows go down as easily as a Starbucks latte. By the final scene he and his circle have played hard, worked hard, done their best, and developed a bit more self-awareness. It’s probably only a matter of time before the casting call goes out. Grades 6-9. --John Peters
