Polkadots: The Cool Kids Musical
The plot follows 8-year-old Lily Polkadot who just moved to the “Squares Only” small town of Rockaway.

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 polkadot skin blooms into an unexpected pal-ship. Inspired by the events of The Little Rock 9, Polkadots serves as a colorful history lesson for children, reminding them that our individual differences make us awesome, not outcasts.
