Patchwork Players Present: Polka Dots: The Cool Kids Musical

As part of the Colonial Theatre’s Kids Series, Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical brings a vibrant tale of friendship, courage, and inclusion to the stage. This show tells the story of a student who’s different from everyone else at school and has to overcome challenges, make friends, and find the courage to be themselves. This fun musical celebrates friendship, bravery, and accepting others for who they are.

This story follows 8-year-old Lily Polkadot, who just moved to the “Squares Only” small town of Rockaway. As the first Polkadot in an all-Square school, Lily faces an almost impossible task gaining acceptance from her peers. From daily bullying to segregated drinking fountains, Lily’s quest seems hopeless until she meets Sky, a shy Square boy whose curiosity for her unique polkadot skin blooms into an unexpected pal-ship. Inspired by the events of The Little Rock 9, Polkadots serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts.
