Jacqueline Woodson's award-winning children's books are coming to the Brooklyn Academy of Music. "Show Way the Musical" and "The Other Side" will be performed, bringing to life stories of hope and resilience. Woodson, the Kennedy Center's Education Artist-in-Residence, emphasizes the importance of these narratives, especially in a time when history is being erased. She sees performance as a way to open up conversations and create a safe space for dialogue. Woodson is also exploring new adaptations of her books for PBS and potentially as musicals.
