Seating chart & directions
Returning to the DR2 Kids Theatre this December, DEAR EDWINA a celebration of friendship and family that will instill a love of musical comedy for all newcomers and delight those already hooked. "Gleams with originality. A tour de force!” raves The New York Times, and The NY Post claims “Take her ED-vice: Like a spunky, singing version of Oprah, the young heroine of 'Dear Edwina' is obsessed with solving other people's problems."
Edwina Spoonapple would do just about anything to be a part of the Kalamazoo Advice-a-palooza Festival. While her siblings both have proof “up on the fridge” of their accomplishments, poor Edwina has nothing. When a talent scout from the festival visits her hometown of Paw Paw, Michigan, she trots out her musical advice giving shows live from the family garage in hopes of finding her place in the spotlight. She is assisted by her older siblings (on piano and drums) and a host of quirky friends and neighbors, including Kelli, the cool, sophisticated ballerina; Annie, the girl-scout cookie-selling champion; Billy, one-third of the Vanderploonk triplets; Bobby, the befuddled new kid on the block; and Scott, who is helplessly and hopelessly in love with Edwina. Together they set out to tackle the world’s problems, in number after hysterical number about everything from birthday party etiquette to the proper way to set a table (“salad fork, fork, plate, knife, spoon”). Sweet, smart and tuneful, it appeals to audiences of all ages, as Edwina doles out advice, and finally learns to listen to some of it herself.
December 11 thru February 15, at the DR2 Theatre, 103 East 15th Street.
