Hey Hey It's Esther Blueburger
Esther Blueburger has thick glasses, parents who don't understand her, a pet duck and no friends at her private school.  She and her twin brother are approaching their bar/bat mitzvah, a rite of passage that coincides with Esther's inner turmoil.  On the road to greater self-awareness, Esther encounters kissing, sex, class differences, questions of loyalty and an indestructible urge to be herself.
Directed by Cathy Randall / Australia / 103 min. Recommended for ages 11 and up.  One brief scene is set in an exotic dance club, but there is no nudity.
The Ridge Theatre
November 1, 4:30 PM and November 10, 7:00 PM
