Summary:

In America, every child of immigrants has an assimilation story, but not all of them involve being actors in a student adaptation of the hit musical Frozen. In New York City's Chinatown, the elementary school theater club of PS 124 prepares to stage a production of Frozen Kids. As these Asian American students gear up and rehearse for their big musical production with nervous excitement, they also contend with cultural stereotypes, family expectations, post-graduation uncertainties, and the pressures that come with being young and bicultural. Through rehearsals and time behind the scenes, the students unveil their dilemmas with honesty, humor, and insight. Curtain Up! shares a kids-eye view of identity, culture, and the heartbreaks that come with growing up.
