Part of the New York Musical Theatre Festival, a musical theater event that tells the story of a lonely sixteen-year-old girl, living in this internet age, aching for more than the blue glow of 432 friends.
In this day and age, many measure their existence by their online presence; if it isn't online, it didn't happen. Does a tree fall if no one uploads it? At the Summer Valley Fair you can be anyone you want to be, or so a lonely teenage girl hopes. One sixteen-year-old girl trades the safety of her attic for roller coaster screams, laser light nights, boys who might be real, and supermoon girls who definitely aren’t. 'Summer Valley Fair' conveys the great hope that, even without uploading and connecting with our virtual "friends," we can sing ourselves into existence.
