Synopsis
Callie loves theater, but she can't sing. She's the set designer for her middle school's production, determined to create a Broadway-worthy set on a shoestring budget. Juggling carpentry challenges, dwindling ticket sales, and a clashing crew, Callie faces both onstage and offstage drama. Things get even more complicated when two charming brothers enter the picture, adding a layer of romantic intrigue to the theatrical chaos.
