Ready to laugh your way through middle school again? TCC Theatre Department’s Tulsa Children’s Summer Theatre is scheduled to present “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Musical,” a laugh-out-loud and heartfelt stage adaptation of Jeff Kinney’s bestselling book series.
Performances will run July 24–26 at 7 p.m. and July 27 at 2 p.m. at the PACE Mainstage at the Tulsa Community College Southeast Campus, 10300 E. 81st St.
The book is by Kevin Del Aguina with music and lyrics by Michael Mahler and Alan Schmuckler. Mark Frank, associate professor/coordinator/director of theatre in the School of Visual and Performing Arts, directs the play. Musical direction is under the supervision of Sara Lambert, and choreography is by Jennifer Andrasko.
The high-energy musical, with a cast of forty-two young performers ages 5-17, dives into the hilarious and awkward world of Greg Heffley – a typical kid navigating the ups and downs of middle school, including friend drama, family antics, and all the cringey moments that make growing up so memorable.
With over 275 million copies sold worldwide, Kinney’s “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” book series has become a global sensation. In this stage adaptation, all the wit, charm, and comic misadventures of Greg’s journey are vividly brought to life.
Whether you are a longtime fan of books or just someone who remembers the chaos of middle school, this show promises catchy songs, big laughs, and plenty of heart. It is the perfect outing for kids, families, and anyone who has ever felt like a “wimpy kid.” The play will capture kids’ hearts and funny bones with its honest and humorous look at childhood.
Don’t miss this musical misadventure, brought to life by Tulsa’s talented young community of performers, ages 5-17.
