Broadway Palm Children’s Theatre staging ‘Grace For President’
Broadway Palm Children’s Theatre is currently staging “Grace For President” on selected matinees through Oct. 26. Based on the best-selling book by Kelly S. DiPucchio, this timely story explains the basics of elections, from campaigns to the complexity of the electoral college clearly and appropriately for children of all ages.
When Grace finds out the United States has never had a female president, she asks “Where are the girls?” Frustrated by the lack of female faces in the White House, Grace decides she wants to be the first female president.
Grace starts off her political career as a candidate and plans a mock school election. She seems the likely winner until the most popular boy runs against her.
Join Grace and her classmates on a musical journey through campaigning and pep rallies, service projects and posters, as they discover what it takes to be the best candidate.
