The heartwarming musical "Daddy Long Legs" tells the story of Jerusha Abbott, an orphan yearning for a life beyond the walls of the John Grier Home. An unexpected twist of fate changes everything when a mysterious benefactor offers to fund her college education on one condition: Jerusha must write him a monthly letter detailing her experiences.

Jerusha, never having met her benefactor, playfully nicknames him "Daddy Long Legs" after seeing his elongated shadow. Through her heartfelt letters, Jerusha shares her newfound independence, academic challenges, and blossoming friendships. As she navigates the world outside the orphanage, Jerusha grapples with self-discovery and dreams of a future she never thought possible.

The musical unfolds through Jerusha's witty and insightful letters, revealing not only her journey of self-transformation but also the development of a unique and touching bond with her unseen benefactor. "Daddy Long Legs" is a charming tale that celebrates the power of education, self-belief, and the unexpected connections that can shape our lives.

What is the history of THEATRE RALEIGH ?

Theatre Raleigh is professional, non-profit theatre company based in Raleigh, North Carolina. It grew out of the original “Hot Summer Nights at the Kennedy” Series, begun in 2005 by K.D. Kennedy Jr. and his son, Michael Kennedy. The series operated out of the K.D. and Sara Lynn Kennedy Theatre, a 133-seat black box space around the back of the Duke Energy Center performing arts complex. In 2009, Lauren Kennedy Brady took over the series from her father and brother, building it into a year-round professional company that she renamed Theatre Raleigh. The organization officially incorporated as a nonprofit in 2013. Under Kennedy-Brady’s leadership, Theatre Raleigh has grown into one of the top theatre destinations in the Triangle, employing both local professionals and Broadway veterans. The company still continues its beloved Summer Series, but has expanded its programming to include a Family Series, a new works initiative, various concert events, and a number of educational components.
