Synopsis
We are excited to present “Crazy for You Jr.,” at CCS this year. It is a delightful musical by George and Ira
Gershwin that celebrates the transformative power of community. This enchanting production transports us
from the bustling streets of New York City to the sleepy town of Deadrock, Nevada, where our story unfolds.

Set against the glamorous backdrop of the 1930s, “Crazy for You Jr.” follows the dreams of Bobby Child, a
young man caught between his family's expectations and his passion for the theater. Bobby yearns for a life
filled with music, dance, and the excitement of performance, but his journey takes an unexpected turn
when his mother sends him to Deadrock to foreclose on the struggling Gaiety Theatre.

In Deadrock, Bobby encounters Polly Baker, a spirited local girl who becomes an inspiration in his life.
Determined to win her heart and save her theater, Bobby devises a plan to impersonate the renowned
director Bela Zangler and invite the New York Follies Girls to perform at the theatre. His disguise works -
too well! As the story unfolds, Bobby grapples with the realization that deception is not the path to joy. This
situation echoes the Biblical call to honesty, reminding us that as members of one body, "each of us must
put off falsehood and speak truthfully to our neighbour” (Eph. 4:25). Bobby’s deceit causes a series of
mix-ups and problems for him and for others, but in the end, the truth is revealed and the characters learn
to work together for the benefit of the entire community.

Through this journey, Bobby learns that genuine love and success come from honesty and integrity. In
seeking to uplift others, he discovers the importance of using his gifts truthfully to bring joy and purpose to
his life and to the lives of those around him.

At CCS, as we work on this production in the months ahead, we celebrate our own Christian community,
where we are known as God’s beautifully-created handiwork, nurtured to develop our unique talents, and
encouraged to use them to uplift and serve others (Eph. 2:10).

While the show features some romantic interests, we will emphasize the importance of friendship between
students and the light-hearted nature of the musical as we seek to build community - and have a fantastic
time together!
