IT WASN'T ME

Seven narrators portray a diverse cast of characters in this seventh-grade version of THE BREAKFAST CLUB. When Theo's photography project is mysteriously vandalized at school, he and the five suspects must come to school over vacation for "Justice Circle" to process the incident. What starts as a whodunit about bullying soon becomes a story about loyalty and friendship as the nerd, the overachiever, the jock, the class clown, and the weirdo all bond with Theo and each other. Most of the story is told from Theo's perspective, and, as Theo, Robbie Daymond portrays each character with authenticity and heart. "Status reports" read in the voices of the teacher and each suspect help reveal their deeper personalities since we hear their voices very differently than Theo does.
