(4) YA A senior class project to reopen a rundown theater--closed since a 1947 tragedy involving star-crossed lovers--forces past and present love stories to converge. While the protagonists are written as seniors to facilitate the romance, the voice reads more like middle grade, and the kitschy magic lacks logic. However, theater lore and sympathetically drawn characters will attract readers.
