(4) YA The Carmen here works in a Quikmart and dreams of musical stardom; her Don José is Ryan, a cadet at the nearby Valley Forge Military Academy. Inspired by the famous Bizet opera (although much compromised), this contemporary take on doomed love has two intriguing main characters but a surfeit (four) of narrators.
