Childsplay, one of the nation's leading theaters for young audiences, is offering several options for families to bring the joy of theater into kids' lives during the quarantine.
A free broadcast of the delightful play, THE GRUMPIEST BOY IN THE WORLD has been released for a limited time on Childsplay's YouTube channel. For kids ages 5 and up, the play follows the story of Zachary Briddling, an unbearably normal, average boy who dreams of being special. He sets off on a magical adventure to find a place where he might feel special, and in doing so, he finally finds his own place in the world. This hilarious and imaginative adventure is for anyone who has ever struggled to discover and embrace all that makes them unique and special.
