The Boxcar Children at Racine Theatre Guild

The adventures of “The Boxcar Children” have been enjoyed by generations and now come to life on the stage at the Racine Theatre Guild Friday, April 6 – Sunday, April 15.

Orphaned and in danger of going to different foster homes, Henry, Jessie, Violet and Benny Alden run away and make a railroad boxcar their home.
