LETTERS ALOUD: BE THE CHANGE
Friday, February 13 at 6:30 p.m.
Letters Aloud presents BE THE CHANGE, a lively and inspiring performance that brings to life over a dozen letters written by young people to their heroes throughout history, the responses they received, and their powerful impact on society. Among the many letters in this program, Stan Lee makes good on a decades old promise, a 9-year-old hoopster consults NBA superstar Steph Curry on his shoe empire, a teenaged Tom Hanks tries to get “discovered”, and an 11-year-old girl tells Abraham Lincoln to grow a beard. Our production will include letters written by St. Kate’s students and community members. BE THE CHANGE is a powerful reminder that writing one single letter can truly change the world.
