Make this the day you begin!
In collaboration with Threads Dance Project
It’s not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you, but somehow you do it. With the start of school and new beginnings looming, National Book Award Winner Jacqueline Woodson’s heartwarming musical celebrates the courage it takes to make new friends, hear new stories, and see your own magic in the world.
Based on the Book by Jacqueline Woodson
Illustrated by Rafael López
Script by Jacqueline Woodson
Music and lyrics by Toshi Reagon
This play was commissioned by the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and was first produced at the Kennedy Center during the 2022-23 season.
