The classic book by Marlo Thomas and Friends Comes to Life in this collection of classic stories and songs!

$165- We have a 10% discount for siblings!

Every child, no matter which gender, can wear whatever, like whatever, behave however it wants. That every child can be free just to be!!

Marlo Thomas conceived a children’s book that, instead of telling boys and girls who they should be, would open them to the possibilities of who they could be. She gathered many of her supremely talented friends from various worlds of the arts and the remarkable result is highly regarded as a modern classic of children’s literature. Life-enhancing themes are imaginatively blended with music and humor to expand children’s personal horizons, enabling them to invent their own futures without limitation, while dispelling some old constraints and worn-out conventions in the process. Parents, teachers and other grown-up friends will delight in sharing this extraordinary and memorable experience with the children in their lives.

There will be a special (free) performance for family and friends on the last day of camp, as well as a (ticketed) community performance at 7 pm that evening.
