From the theater that brought you Gatsby, Waitress, and Jagged Little Pill comes a new musical about change, identity, and what it means to belong. Featuring a driving, pop-inspired score by the GRAMMY Award®-winning duo A Great Big World (“Say Something,” “This Is the New Year”) and a book by MacArthur Fellow and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sarah Ruhl (Eurydice; The Clean House; Smile, a memoir), this uplifting show celebrates empathy, resilience, and the power of choosing kindness.
This production depicts bullying and contains fog, haze, strobe, and flashing lights. Recommended for ages 9+.

Essential Question
How can we change the way we see?
A.R.T.’s engagement team collaborates with each production’s creative team to develop an essential question to catalyze conversation amongst our community of artists, audiences, staff, and Lavine Learning Lab students.
