Besties Harper and Rose (writer/performers Rebekah Enns and Sarah Flynn) have a problem Harper's headed to a new school in a new city for Grade 7. Can their friendship survive the long-distance test?

The coming-of-age themes of dealing with change in Harper & Row aren't hugely original, but Enns and Flynn craft their story in a charmingly appealing way.

Filled with gentle humour (sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who's ever been 12 years old,)their performances nicely capture the awkwardness and frustrations of approaching your teen years and navigating a world where everything seems to be changing. It's honest and funny and relatable.
