The youth of SW Florida will research, interview and explore the past atrocities of Parkland in order to investigate, inspire, and unite with hopes of starting conversations for the future and provoking insightful thought for change.

Bulletproof Backpack will have a reading in Florida Rep’s 2020 PlayLab Festival, held April 30 – May 3, 2020 in the ArtStage Studio Theatre. Stay tuned to FloridaRep.org for updates and details.

“Only with the constant education of the past and active push for change can we truly expect Never Again. The atrocities we saw in Parkland rebounded in a movement for change that was faster and stronger than we’d ever seen before and it was led by our nation’s youth. Our youth are our future and enabling them to speak and supporting the voice our nation’s future is what this project is all about.” —Kody C Jones

Transporting audiences from the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus, the Cat in the Hat, our narrator, tells the story of Horton, an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing tiny people called the Whos, including Jojo, a Who child, who gets in trouble for thinking too many “thinks.” Horton’s challenge is twofold — not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must also guard an abandoned egg that’s been left in his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and emerge triumphant!

LUNCHBOX DATES AND TIMES:SEPT 28 @ 6pmFEB 28 @ 11am

MAY 22 @ 11am

That master of imaginative enchantment, C.S. Lewis, has created a unique world, and he invites children to walk into it and enjoy both surprise and adventure. An old house in rural England becomes the home base for four children who wander into an incredible country through an old wardrobe and help the country return to summer. In the incredible Narnia, they make friends with the frightened forest people who have almost given up hope for the return of good King Aslan, their true ruler. When Aslan was there, it was always summer.

There is a great battle to see whether this magical country will remain under a wintry spell or will, once again, know freedom and summer under good King Aslan. A charming play about courage and the love of freedom.

THEATRE FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES

Book and Lyrics by MARCY HEISLERMusic by ZINA GOLDRICH

Based on the book series by Barbara Park Directed by KODY C JONES

LUNCHBOX DATES AND TIMES:

Created by Marcy Heisler and Zina Goldrich, the team that brought you Dear Edwina, comes Junie B. Jones, The Musical – a delightful adaptation of four of Barbara Park’s best-selling books, brought to life in a genuinely comical (and not strictly-for-kids) musical. Awaken a young person’s desire to read with the sassy little diva, Junie B. Jones, and her adventures in first grade.

It’s Junie B.’s first day of first grade, and a lot of things have changed for her: Junie’s friend, Lucille, doesn’t want to be her best pal anymore and, on the bus, Junie B. makes friends with Herb, the new kid at school. Also, Junie has trouble reading the blackboard and her teacher, Mr. Scary, thinks she may need glasses. Throw in a friendly cafeteria lady, a kickball tournament and a “Top-Secret Personal Beeswax Journal,” and first grade has never been more exciting.
