We're so excited to return to our childhood roots with a very special, Family-Friendly "Another Round"...of juice boxes.
This week the Broadwaysted crew is keeping it #PlaygroundRules and sipping apple juice with the brilliant creators of ADDY & UNO, a new Family Musical about disability, bullying, and friendship! Book writer Nava R. Silton shares about how her passion for her role as a Developmental Psychologist and her work with Sesame Street and Nickelodeon inspired a comic version of ADDY & UNO.
Bonnie Gleicher, the amazing Composer and Lyricist, spills about how she joined the team and brought this diverse group of puppets and people to life through song. We're even joined by a star of the show, the puppet Melody (and let me tell you, Kevin LOVES PUPPETS!) who joins us for Game Master Kimberly's creatively-named new game: "30 Seconds to Name Five."
ADDY & UNO is an incredible story that celebrates the abilities within disability and inspires empathy and understanding with the motto it's "nice to be nice"--so check them out from now until September 24th at the 14th Street Y!
