Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress

Minneapolis is home to a large number of theatres and performers and The Children’s Theatre Company is no exception.

The production, Morris Micklewhite and the Tangerine Dress, opens tonight. From their website:

Morris likes lots of things: doing puzzles, painting pictures, pretending to be an astronaut, and wearing a tangerine dress from his school’s dress-up box because it “reminds him of tigers, the sun, and his mother’s hair.” But some of his classmates think boys can’t wear dresses because … well, because they’re boys. With his vivid imagination and space-animal friends, Morris travels the galaxy in search of an answer to the all-important question: “Do astronauts wear dresses?”

I think this is wonderful. I would have loved to have seen this performance when I was young.

This runs through November 19th and I hope you have a chance to see it.
