Summer of ‘42It’s the summer of 1942: America is at war, men line up by the thousands to join the army, and on a tiny island off the coast of Maine, three fifteen-year-old boys begin a summer they will never forget. Hermie, Oscy, and Benjie are accustomed to spending the summer together, but somehow this year seems different and girls have replaced baseball and comic books. While their adolescent misadventures ensue, they learn about life, love, and the scope of human compassion. |

Production Materials
Included in your license are the following cast and crew scripts. These materials will be shipped 60 days prior to the first performance.
9 Cast Script/Vocal Books
A combination of the show’s full script and the full vocal book. All dialogue within each song is printed in the score to prevent flipping back and forth during rehearsals. All books are spiral-bound and double-sided.
2 Director’s Scripts
A single-sided, spiral-bound script designed with plenty of space for the director to take notes and add blocking during the rehearsal process.
1 Stage Manager’s Script
A single-sided, three-hole punched script that can be inserted into your three-ring binder.
2 Piano/Conductor Scores
A keyboard score that is a key part of the show’s actual orchestration. This score contains both vocal parts and a cue staff, which guides the conductor through the full orchestration by informing them when instruments enter the song, as well as providing specific part lines when necessary.
