Photo Flash: Players Club of Swarthmore Presents DEAR EDWINA

Dear Edwina is a heartwarming musical about the joys of growing up, from the creators of Junie B.Jones The Musical. The show's heroine is an advice-giver extraordinaire, like a spunky, singing version of Dear Abby. Written as a "show-within-a-show" format, this is a perfect "girl power" musical for a new generation.

Take a look at photos from the show below!

Thirteen-year-old Edwina Spoonapple (Kara McGee of Swarthmore) would do just about anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a-Palooza Festival. While her siblings both have proof of their accomplishments, poor Edwina has nothing. When a talent scout from the convention visits her hometown, she trots out her musical advice, giving shows live from the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight. She is assisted by her older siblings, quirky friends and neighbors. Together, they set out to tackle the world's problems in number after hysterical number about everything from birthday party etiquette to proper table setting.

This sweet, smart, and tuneful musical from Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich is appropriate for all ages. For those looking for an activity at home to do with their children to prepare for this show, please bring a handwritten letter addressed to Dear Edwina asking her for some youthful advice!
