Katie Couric's Brand New KidKatie Couric’s Brand New Kid

Presented by the Kennedy Center's Imagination Celebration on Tour. New teachers… new books… new faces! It's the very first day of second grade, and Lazlo S. Gasky is the new kid in school. He's your typical seven-year-old boy, but because he doesn't look or speak quite like the others, the teasing and taunting begin. When Ellie McSnelly realizes how tough Lazlo has it, she risks being ridiculed herself to spend an afternoon with him. After playing soccer, eating strudel, and making new friends, the two teach their classmates a valuable lesson--one that's not in their schoolbooks--about the need to give others a chance. Adapted from Katie Couric's popular children's book, this uplifting new musical proves that being yourself is the best way to be.
