Lemonade is a zesty coming-of-age musical about friendship, loss, and self-acceptance. Fourteen-year-old Timmy and his best friend Squeeze are gearing up for another summer of running their beloved lemonade stand—a tradition they began with Timmy’s dad before he passed. But with high school on the horizon, Timmy starts to feel pressure to move on from what some see as “kid stuff.” When a local contest for young entrepreneurs is announced, the duo is reinvigorated—until they face unexpected competition from Katie, a wealthy neighbor and the school’s reigning “it” girl. Determined to win, Katie launches a flashy Kookie Kart directly across the street, sparking a fierce rivalry that threatens the stand, their friendships, and their futures. As secrets come to light and tensions rise, each teen must confront their insecurities—soon discovering they may not be as different as they once believed.
