Free to Be… You and Me - Youth Theatre Northwest

  • Based on the book conceived by Marlo Thomas and Friends
  • Adaptation by Douglas Love and Regina Safran
  • Directed by Halie Looper

Marlo Thomas conceived a children's book that, instead of telling boys and girls who they should be, would open them to the possibilities of who they could be. She gathered many of her supremely talented friends from various worlds of the arts and the remarkable result is highly regarded as a modern classic of children's literature. Life-enhancing themes are imaginatively blended with music and humor to expand children's personal horizons, enabling them to invent their own futures without limitation, while dispelling some old constraints and worn-out conventions in the process.

Tickets: $10
