Grace for President! Win Tickets to the Newest CTC Show!

By SCMK October 17, 2016
Grace is shocked to learn that there has never been a female President and she is on a mission to change that! This great girl power show makes it's debut this weekend at Children's Theatre of Charlotte

Here is the scoop on the show from Children's Theatre of Charlotte 

In her elementary school classroom one day, Grace learns there has never been a female president.

“No girl president? Ever?” she asks, incredulously.


Grace decides then and there to change that and become the first female president, starting her road to the White House by running in her school’s election.


Soon, Grace learns she’s in for a rough-and-tumble election season with the school’s spelling bee champion and soccer team captain, Thomas Cobb. Thomas claims to be the “best man for the job,” after calculating the boys’ votes would give him 271 electoral votes – just one more than he needs to claim victory. Grace bravely campaigns, instead, on being the best person for the job.  


After Grace’s teacher, Mrs. Barrington, assigns each student a state to cast his or her electoral votes for, and after Thomas and Grace campaign hard to win this nail-biting election season (268 votes for Thomas and 267 for Grace), it all comes down to Wyoming  -- the Equality State – with its three electoral votes.


Sam, a boy, casts the Equality State’s three electoral votes for Grace, and she wins the election, beginning her newfound career goals to become the first female president."
