New York Times best-selling author Kwame Alexander brings two of his beloved children’s books—Acoustic Rooster and his Barnyard Band and Indigo Blume and the Garden City—to the stage in a world premiere Kennedy Center commission. Alexander teams up with his writing partner Mary Rand Hess and long-time musical collaborator Randy Preston to tell a story about being scared, being brave, and believing in yourself. With special guests like Duck Ellington and Ms. Dairy Parton, this musical adaptation will have children (and families) dancing in their seats. This is a sensory-friendly performance.
