The Hundred Dresses


THE HUNDRED DRESSES



By Ralph Covert and G. Riley Mills


Based on the book by Eleanor Estes


Directed by Rives Collins

November 1-10, 2013


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?
