Inspired by the characters from “The Grinch Who Stole Christmas”, though not a Christmas tale, The Grunch tells the story of Rudy Grunch, a grumpy 6th grader who always feels like an outsider. When the entire school gets excited about the annual school musical, they come up with a perfect plan to ruin it for everyone; they’ll steal the sets, costumes and lights the night before it opens. But will the spirit of theatre prevail?
