It's Okay to Be Different

Program description

Three contemporary stories by New York Times bestselling author and illustrator Todd Parr will be adapted and staged by Mermaid Theatre and presented by the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall. It’s Okay to Be Different, based on Todd Parr’s children’s book of the same name, cleverly delivers the important messages of acceptance, understanding, and self-confidence. Equally whimsical and heartfelt, The Earth Book, is a sweet homage to our beautiful planet inspiring readers of all ages to do their part to keep the Earth happy and healthy.  This is My Hair is a funny exploration of how silly hair can be and that no matter how your hair looks, always feel good about yourself.
