The Kennedy Center’s Theater for Young Audiences On Tour presents Locomotion, a moving story of an eleven year-old African American boy named Lonnie, an orphan who has seen a lot of sadness in his young life. With a teacher’s encouragement Lonnie discovers a passion for writing poetry. Through this artistic outlet the protagonist finally finds a way to express his feelings about his family, the fire that took his parents away, his little sister and the hardships of his world. He moves from tragedy to hope, from silence to expression and from losing one family to gaining a new one.
Award-winning novelist Jacqueline Woodson, whose accolades include a Coretta Scott King Award and a Margaret A. Edwards Award, adapted her book , a Newbery Honor Award and National Book Award Finalist, into Locomotion. This poignant, inspiring and transcending story is perfect for families with middle school-aged children and older.
