Description

CELEBRATE THE COURAGE TO BEGIN!

“There will be times when you walk into a room and no one there is quite like you…” and so opens The Day You Begin by National Book Award and Newbery Honor winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming, Jacqueline Woodson. This highly-acclaimed, lyrical picture book by the National Ambassador for Young People’s literature debuts at Stages. Capture the courage to take those first steps into a place where nobody knows you and yet somehow you open the door and walk in. There are lots of reasons to feel different but this world premiere musical celebrates the bravery it takes to venture forth into something new.

Based on the Book by Jacqueline Woodson
Illustrated by Rafael Lopez

Approximate run time: Approximately 60 MINUTES with no intermission.

1. Please plan to send your payment the same day that you register.
    
   The organizer will expect to receive your payment within 3 days of your date of registration — or by the payment deadline above, whichever comes first.
    
2. Immediately after you register, you will be emailed payment instructions from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com.
    
   Make sure your email filters recognize this address as a legitimate sender. If you don't receive this email, please check your spam, junk or bulk mail folder. Contact the organizer if you are unable to find it; if you receive no response to your email, please call the organizer.
    
   You are not officially registered until the organizer receives your payment.
    
3. When the organizer records your payment, you will be emailed a payment receipt from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com.
    
   If you've sent your payment and haven't received a payment confirmation, please contact the organizer by email or phone.
    
4. If the organizer doesn't receive payment within 3 days of your date of registration or by the payment deadline, whichever comes first, the organizer may remove your family from the registration list.
    
   You will be notified by an email from admin(at)homeschoolrecess(dot)com should this unfortunate event occur.
    
   If you are unable to send payment immediately, please contact the organizer to make other arrangements. This protects the organizer from non-payment due to payment instructions blocked by overly aggressive spam protection.
    
5. If you need to cancel your registration, please do so via an email request to the organizer.
    
   Non-payment is not an acceptable way to cancel your registration. If you wish to cancel, please be respectful of the volunteer organizer's time and send an email request.
    
   If you fail to send a cancellation request by the cancellation deadline, you will remain responsible for reimbursing the organizer for the cost of your family's participation.
