Amazing Grace

Grace loves stories, whether she hears them, reads them, or makes them up. Possessed with a marvelous imagination as well as a strong flair for the
dramatic, she acts the stories out, always giving herself the most exciting
parts. Thus it is natural, when her teacher announces a classroom production of Peter Pan, for Grace to want to play the lead. One classmate says she can’t because she’s a girl and another says she can’t because she’s black. When a saddened Grace relates the day’s events to her mother and grandmother, they tell her she can be anything she wants to, if she puts her mind to it. Inspired by her family’s support and her own indomitable spirit, Grace pursues her dream of playing Peter Pan.

Adapted for the stage by Shay Youngblood, Amazing Grace is based on the best selling children’s book by Mary Hoffman. Jefferson Fietek directs, with choreography by Nora Bichler.

The 2:00pm performance on Saturday, February 24 is ASL interpreted for the hearing impaired.
