Dear Gabby: The Confessions of an Over-Achiever is a play that explores real teen concerns such as first love, peer pressure, rejection, relationships, drugs, cheating, and self-esteem. It is a play about being human. “It challenges you to explore what you have in common with others instead of being put off by the differences.”

Akron School for the Arts (Firestone Theatre) and CATAC presents Dear Gabby: The Confessions of an Over-Achiever, performed by students from Firestone High School and directed by Elynmarie Kazle at the Balch Street Theatre.
