KIDZ in SPACE
Set against the electric backdrop of early 1980s glam rock, KIDZ IN SPACE follows four gifted high school outsiders who refuse to accept the limits placed on them by the world around them. When Jay Jay - a natural leader still grieving the loss of his father - has a powerful dream revealing a mystical place on Mars where they can be reunited, he becomes unwavering in his mission: build a rocket and get there.Joined by Sophie, whose emotional intelligence and fierce belief in him anchors the group; Niles, a brilliantly logical computer mind with a quirky edge; and Dayla, a fearless builder who “acquires” top-secret equipment from her astrophysicist mother, the team sets out to do the impossible.But when Jay Jay’s younger brother Elijah secretly stows away - bringing with him a surprising depth of wisdom and imagination - the journey shifts. Guided (and sometimes hindered) by their eccentric science teacher, Mr. Eyer (the r is silent), the crew must navigate not only the technical challenges of space travel, but the emotional terrain of loss, belief, and growing up in an uncertain world.Blending humor, heart, and a driving pop and glam rock score, KIDZ IN SPACE is a story about grief transformed into purpose, the power of friendship, and the radical act of believing in a dream - even when the world says it’s impossible!
