BWW JR: Dear Albert Einstein

On May 3, Making Books Sing will present DEAR ALBERT EINSTEIN, a new musical that tells the story of Albert Einstein helping a 12-year old girl navigate middle school and mean girls.

Set in 1954, DEAR ALBERT EINSTEIN tells the story of Susan, a 12-year-old star math student who, when starting junior high, struggles between the desire to be herself and the pressure to be like all of the other girls in her class. Her admiration for Einstein, who periodically pops up in her imagination, complicates and eventually helps her along her journey. The musical combines early rock-n-roll, swing, and classical music.

Making Books Sing promotes children's literacy and social development through professional theater productions and arts-in-education programs. Transcending all of their efforts is a collective belief in the transformative power of the arts to inspire learning, strengthen families, improve schools and communities, and enrich young people's lives.
