The Hundred Dresses at Seattle Children’s Theatre

The Hundred Dresses reminds us that it’s never too late to make yourself a better person.  The story is one from small town America, where a Polish immigrant child attempts to make friends and fit in.  No one notices this strange girl, who can barely even speak English.
