Description

Spotlight Youth Theatre presents "Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical" in person and live-streamed. The musical 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 of 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 polka-dot skin blooms into an unexpected pal-ship. Inspired by the events of The Little Rock Nine, Polkadots serves as a colorful history lesson for children and reminds them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts. 7 p.m. Friday-Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday through June 27. Spotlight Youth Theatre, 10620 N. 43rd Ave. Glendale. 602-843-8318 or sytaz.org/polkadots
