Dedicated to serving the region's youth with dynamic performances and workshops throughout the year, Centenary Stage Company's Young Audience Series brings Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical to the stage! The production will take place from September 26 to September 30 in the Little Theatre on the campus of Centenary University at 400 Jefferson Street in Hackettstown, NJ: Thursday at 7:30 pm; Friday and Saturday at 8 pm; Sunday at 2:00 pm and Monday at 7:00 pm.

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: The Cool Kids Musical serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts. The musical was created by Melvin Tunstall III, Douglas Lyon and Greg Borowsky.

In addition to these "in-house" performances, the Young Audience Series offers a selection of productions available for touring, including beloved adaptations of classic children's literature like A Year with Frog and Toad and School House Rock Live Jr. Bring the fun right to you!
