Hal and Martha Hyer Wallis Theater (directions)
Wanda Petronski claims to have 100 beautiful dresses at home – despite
wearing the same faded blue dress to school every day. Maddie Reeves
joins the rest of the kids at Franklin Elementary School, teasing Wanda
for speaking strangely, having a funny last name and living in the
wrong part of town. But when the teasing gets out of hand, Maddie has a
tough decision to make. Based on the Newbery Honor Book by Eleanor
Estes and directed by acclaimed Northwestern faculty member Rives
Collins (The Secret Garden, How Can You Run With A Shell On Your Back?), this musical adaptation asks: would you have the courage to stand up for someone, even if it means standing alone?
