"Dreams take you places even when you're standing still…”

After receiving a rare opportunity to attend a prestigious boarding school 13-year old SHE is forced to face the harsh realities of adult life, discovering that the small town she was so desperate to escape is filled with the very people who give her wings to fly.

This uplifting, lyrical tale of a young woman finding her voice is written by Antaeus-commissioned playwright Marlow Wyatt and directed by Andi Chapman who brought Antaeus’ productions of “Native Son” and “The Abuelas” to vivid life.
