Get your tickets now for Vital Theatre's production of The Bully, an original musical for children.

Tickets are $10. If you can help as a baker for the post-performance social or can volunteer at the event, please contact Nina Jalowayski, (347) 463-9641.

The Bully tells the story of Lenny, the smartest kid in school. Unfortunately he is not necessarily the strongest kid and he is constantly picked on by Steve, the school bully. A bus mix up leaves the two boys stranded at the wrong school where they both get picked on for being the “new kids.”

Taunted by the terrifying “Mega,” the boys learn what life is really like for the other and are forced to work together in order to get back to their own school. In the end they make the realization that they might not be so different after all.
Reviewing "The Bully," the New York Times said, "A peppy score and lyrics...an insightful book. 'The Bully,' like the best kind of teacher, nudges children toward the truth and then lets them discover it on their own."

Book and lyrics are by David L. Williams; music and lyrics by John Gregor. Vital Children's Theatre is a six-time winner of the Off-Off Broadway Review's Award for Excellence. Click the flyer for tickets!
