Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical

May 7th - 24th, 2026

Studio Theatre

Lily Polkadot has just moved to Rockaway. As the first Polkadot in an all Square school, Lily faces an almost impossible task of gaining acceptance from her classmates. From daily bullying to segregated drinking fountains, Lily's quest seems hopeless until she meets Sky, a shy Square boy whose curiosity for her unique polkadots blooms into an unexpected pal-ship. This colorful history lesson reminds us that our differences make us awesom.
