1 - Friday, June 17 through Sunday, June 19: The Amazing Lemonade Girl, Prime Stage Theatre, various times
The Prime Stage Sprouts show “The Amazing Lemonade Girl” is a true story inspired by Alexandra Flynn Scott. When Alex was diagnosed with a rare childhood cancer, she opened a lemonade stand in her front yard to raise money to help other sick kids one cup at a time. Her efforts grew into Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer, which has raised more than $200 million and funded 1,000 medical research projects. The play is suggested for kids ages 5-11 and tickets are $10 for kids and $18 for grownups. (The preview performance on June 16 is pay-what-you-wish.) A sensory-inclusive show is planned for June 18.
