'Something Happened in Our Town' Reading

Animated Digital Reading

Something Happened in Our Town

FOR everyone 4 and up


CTC has created an animated reading of the book Something Happened in Our Town as a resource for families before they see the play. We recommend that families watch this video together and engage with the accompanying resources. Parents, we encourage you to support your young people ask they ask their questions and seek the answers they need.  

CTC is committed to Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, and in this moment in time, we lean into our mission by providing families a creative resource to understand these trying times.

In addition to providing general guidance about countering racism with children, this Resource Guide offers child-friendly vocabulary definitions, conversation guides, and a link to additional online resources for parents and teachers.
