Stenberg will play Irene, a spunky, fearless and smart eighth grader who is desperate to learn to sing despite her terribly off-key voice and Craig's reluctance to teach her. Amanda Lund and Larenz Tate co-star. Executive producers are Ellickson -- who also will write -- Daniels, Howard Klein, Tracy Katsky-Boomer and Mark Schulman.
