POP PUNK HIGH

Part traditional musical, part local punk show, and part late-night cult comedy, POP PUNK HIGH is a place where everyone is pop punk, it’s always the early-mid 2000’s, and there’s never been anything cooler than skating, shredding, and flipping off your lame-ass parents. 

Derek, a young poser, wants nothing more than to become king of Pop Punk High and win Amanda Bunkface’s love. It seems all but impossible for a loser like Derek, but when he’s granted three wishes by the ghost of Avril Lavigne, his wildest dreams may be possible after all.

POP PUNK HIGH played sold-out DIY venues across New York City from 2016-2018, culminating in a sold-out run at (le) poisson rouge. The rights to the show were licensed to the Theatre fur Neidersachsen in Germany, where the show toured from April – July 2023.
