If You Could Dance in My Shoes

Penny, a homeless girl with many struggles, unexpectedly finds joy when a new friend helps her decorate her shabby shoes, inspiring others to do the same. Wearing their artsy kicks, the group plans a community dance only to have the event jeopardized when their shoes are stolen by a greedy classmate. As the kids try to salvage their neighborhood party, Penny's more privileged classmates learn what it means to "walk in someone else's shoes." Written for a cast of 12 or more performers ages 8–14, this musical is a mission project, art project, and dance show all rolled into one big production with a powerful message: everyone deserves love and empathy.
