McKinley School of the Arts will perform four shows of POLKADOTS: The Cool Kids Musical. Directed by Quiana Turner. Music directed by Candace Lacy and Choreography by Israel Lacy. Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical follows 8-year-old Lily Polkadot who just moved to the “Squares Only” small town of Rockaway. As the first Polkadot in an all Square school, Lily faces an almost impossible task of gaining acceptance from her peers. From daily bullying to segregated drinking fountains, Lily’s quest seems hopeless until she meets Sky, a shy Square boy whose curiosity for her unique polkadot skin blooms into an unexpected pal-ship. Inspired by the events of The Little Rock 9, Polkadots serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased through the QR code on the flier. Click here to view flyer
