The parents and kids from Verity High opened their community art center — it’s like a YMCA but with karaoke and a lot more therapy.
Sutton teaches vocal performance, when she’s not starring in those geriatric roles in the city. Geriatric is the new black, she says.
(And she got bangs).
Angela teaches business management. Because nothing says “healing” like a spreadsheet. And plot twist, Angela has finally put her clown shoes back on and performs with Harlan sometimes.
Dylan now runs the community arts center full-time, creating space for weird, wonderful, and wildly underfunded arts and community projects. They’re finally living their life like a boss.
Luis teaches Zumba, balloon art, and pancakatures, ‘cause apparently carbs are a love language now. He still shows up with snacks, inappropriate hats, and is hoping to get his Masterclass degree in rigging very soon.
Alexa’s TED Talk—“Drop the Mic, Mom”—went viral. Alexa and Sutton teamed up to launch a podcast series called Stage Daughter Anonymous. It’s chaotic. It’s healing. It’s somehow sponsored.
(Verna gives it another month before one of them gets stabbed with a prop knife.)
Harlan teaches clowning, while finishing his senior year at Verity High School. Harlan and Alexa are going strong, and Angela’s supply of Plan B hasn’t made a guest appearance…yet.
Coach runs improv games for elementary kids, and plot twist number 2…If you’re not careful you’ll catch him swapping spit with Angela in the supply closet.
Verna now lives in Atlantic City, splitting her time between piano bars and poker tables. When she’s crapped out and waiting for the next check to clear from the city, she returns to Verity Community Center, and can be found napping in the gymnatorium, under the piano bench, and sometimes… in a bathtub.
