The Star Who Could Not Twinkle & Other Winning Plays

Wise, heartfelt, and often comical, this anthology of award-winning short plays celebrates creativity and imagination! Top plays written by elementary school students from our community and around the world are brought to life by a cast of professional actors. From a dragon with a stubborn case of the hiccups to a boy who couldn't resist pulling hair to a star that could not twinkle, we've shined a spotlight on the magic of children's creativity through this beloved annual production for 29 years. We invite you to join us in celebrating what stories young playwrights will imagine this school year in an all-new play filled with laughter, lessons, and learning for us all.

The Star Who Could Not Twinkle & Other Winning Plays, by award-winning young playwrights from around the world, will play Saturdays and select Sundays from March 28, 2020 - April 18, 2020 in FST's Keating Theatre.
