Is There Life After High School? features a score by Craig Carnelia and a book by Jeffrey Kindley. The musical, according to press notes, "chronicles the effects that our high school years have had on each and every one of us. Told through various monologues and songs, Is There Life After High School? reflects upon the quintessential high school moments that have made us who we are today. At times hilariously awkward - at times heartbreakingly painful — this production exposes the intimate and vulnerable memories of our high school days."

Jennifer Ashley Tepper serves as assistant director, and Edward Carignan choreographs.
