Pop Punk High at Parkside Lounge

Pop Punk High is a new musical by Ben Lapidus and Anderson Cook that parodies and celebrates the pop punk bands of the 2000’s and all the angst they inspired.
Pop Punk High is a place where everyone is pop punk, it’s always 2006, and there’s never been anything cooler than shredding, pizza, and flipping off your lame-ass parents. Derek, a young wannabe pop punk frontman, wants nothing more than to become king of Pop Punk High and win Amanda Bunkface’s angsty, straight-ironed love. It seems all but impossible for a loser like Derek, but when he finds a bong in his attic containing the ghost/genie of Avril Lavigne, his wildest dreams may be possible after all.
