It’s production time at Bais Breindel, but for Brachie Bodner and Atara Gold, the role-playing goes a lot deeper than on stage… A compelling and enjoyable teen novel that explores personal insecurities and complex family dynamics, written by a beloved author.

Brachie Bodner: As the principal’s daughter, she is constantly playing the role of perfect student. But are things really as perfect as she makes them out to be?

Atara Gold: Pampered and popular, everyone thinks Atara has it all — except for Atara herself. Still, Atara is determined to keep up that image at all costs. Why is that proving to be so hard?

When production rolls around at Bais Breindel, tenth graders Brachie and Atara find themselves vying for the coveted main part in the play. But things don’t pan out as either girl expected, and instead they find themselves playing roles they never could have envisioned — both on stage and off.

Curtain Call is the compelling story of two girls grappling with teenage insecurities and complex family dynamics. It’s the story of every girl who has traversed the high school years, coming away with life lessons that will endure long after the curtain falls on the last act.
