The Hundred Dresses Discussion Deal

One of the most rewarding parts of our production of The Hundred Dresses so far has been the talk back sessions following the play, where the audience has an opportunity to ask questions of the actors. Often when we do talk backs, the questions are more technical - how long does it take you to learn your lines? was it hard to learn the sword fight? But for this play, the questions deal more with the story, because its themes of bullying and friendship really resonate with kids.

We want to encourage these kinds of conversations, and so we are offering a special group play and discussion package:

Seattle Children’s Theatre’s production of The Hundred Dresses is a wonderful springboard into conversation with the children in your life. Whether it’s the difficulties faced by immigrants or the ever-present threat of bullying, this play tackles these topics in an engaging and entertaining way. To help facilitate this conversation we are offering a special package to groups of 10 or more. Choose one of the special performances below and receive a FREE facilitated discussion moderated by either a KCSARC or SCT educator.

This special discussion package includes tickets to the show, a meeting space at SCT, and curriculum materials, prepared by SCT’s Education Programs, for you to take away.

Saturdays at 2pm—March 22nd, March 29th, April 5th
Sundays at 5:30pm—March 23rd, March 30th, April 6th

ABOUT THE PLAY: Based on the Newberry Honor book by Eleanor Estes, The Hundred Dresses introduces us to Wanda Petronski, a young girl who just wants to make friends. But in 1930s small town America, a Polish immigrant doesn’t easily fit in. When Maddie’s best friend starts to tease Wanda, Maddie knows this isn’t right and realizes that allowing her friend to be a bully is just as bad as acting that way herself. Determined not to let her fear get the best of her again, Maddie braves the scorn of her classmates and stands up to them, making an unlikely friend in the bargain.

To order your group tickets, please contact School & Group Sales Manager, Heather Botts, at (206) 443 – 0807 or email her at heatherb@sct.org.

Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy an incredible and moving play, fully engaging your children in the themes and message of the story
