“When children pretend, they’re using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be a superhero."
-Fred Rogers

⚡️ The MIGHTY ⚡️

Come this original musical that is all about the pure magic of being a kid. It’s a reminder that you don’t need an actual cape or a high-tech suit of armor to change the world—true superpowers are built right on the playground through imagination, teamwork, and play!

We had our cast read through last night and we are certain you will have the MOST fun watching this story come to life!

Come see them save the day!
