BEST FOR EVERYONE AGES 7 AND UP
Friendships challenged, a world changed, and two young people struggling to make sense of it all. Follow friends and neighbors, Josh and Emma, as they navigate their way through an experience beyond their control and understanding.
Josh and Emma have many questions about the tragic killing of a Black man by a White police officer. Real questions that deserve real answers. But during conversations over dinner, at bedtime, before and after school, their families (one Black and one White) find such answers don’t come easily. Layered with compassion and humor, this show invites you to walk alongside Josh and Emma as they confront uncertainty within their town and between themselves. More than just a “must see,” this play will help families more fully understand how their neighbors’ experiences might be different than their own.

Vaccine & Safety Protocols
At CTC, the safety of our patrons, students, artists, and staff is our highest priority.
We continue to monitor and follow the guidelines and recommendations from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) as we develop and refine our COVID-19 Safety Practices & Policies to ensure a safe and clean experience for everyone. We will continue to update our practices and plans as circumstances and guidelines change.
Something Happened in Our Town
To help our community and families navigate the complex emotions and conversations in this challenging time, CTC has created a video presentation of the children’s book, Something Happened in our Town as a resource for families to watch together. This story follows two families—one White, one Black, as they discuss a police shooting of a Black man in their community. The book was written by a biracial team of child psychologists and published by the American Psychological Association.
We recommend that families watch this video together and engage with the accompanying resources. We hope parents will encourage young people to ask their questions and seek the answers they need.
CTC is committed to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion in our staff, on our stages, in our audiences, and in our community. We need to work together, as a community, to create a safe and supportive environment. In this moment, we lean into our mission to educate, challenge, and inspire by providing families a creative resource to help understand these trying times.
