Event description
Spotlight Youth Theatre will perform excerpts from their current show, She Persisted, The Musical JR, the trailblazing musical based on the best-selling children’s book written by Chelsea Clinton and beautifully illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Fourth-grader Naomi’s field trip to a Women’s History Museum turns into a time-travel adventure where she encounters inspirational women who have overcome barriers and made waves throughout U.S. history. From activists to athletes, artists and more, the musical features the stories of female trailblazers such as Harriet Tubman, Virginia Apgar, Ruby Bridges, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, and Sonia Sotomayor.
