|  Locomotion
Kennedy Center Theater for Young Audiences on Tour Adapted by Jacqueline Woodson from her book
Thursday, March 1
Grades 4–8
Eleven-year-old Lonnie Collins Motion has so much kinetic energy that his nickname, Locomotion, is perfect. With his par- ents lost to a fire, and with him and his sister in separate foster homes, Lonnie has seen a lot of sadness in his young life. But when he discov- ers a passion for poetry, Lonnie learns to accept change, adapt to new realities, and use memories to heal his pain and move forward. Humorous characters, witty dialogue, clever scenic design, and foot-tapping music frame this inspiring play about growing up.
“Gentle, witty children’s musical. . . . Moving and extraordinarily well-acted.” —Washington Post
