Seattle Children’s Theatre is ready to welcome audiences with a 2022 season of productions available both online and in person.
Managing Director Kevin Malgesini said the season “is designed to tell the stories that matter and make a difference in the lives of young people.”
Some titles may sound familiar as they were part of SCT’s 2019-20 season, postponed because of the pandemic.
