With his new two-dimensional form, Stanley becomes the ultimate exchange student, scouring the globe to do something the world has never seen before. Learn that heroes come in all shapes and sizes in this whirlwind musical travelogue!

"We're excited to bring Jeff Brown's familiar two-dimensional hero to vibrant life on stage," said Director of Education Anne Hering. "Guests are invited to participate even further by traveling with their very own Orlando Shakes Flat Stanley and contributing to the Theater's online photo album."
