Captain Louie JR

Based on the children's book, The Trip by Ezra Jack Keats, and featuring a score by Grammy Award-winning composer, Stephen Schwartz, Captain Louie JR. is a delightfully fresh and touching story about friendship — the ability to make new friends... and the importance of old ones.

Louie has just moved to a new town and is nervous about making new friends. Alone in his room, he takes flight in his imagination, back to his old neighborhood, where he spends Halloween with his colorful crew of chums. Over the course of trick-or-treating and being introduced to the new kid in that neighborhood, Louie discovers that making new friends is nothing to be afraid of.

Captain Louie JR. calls for a medium-sized cast, though Louie’s old neighborhood can encompass additional cast members as needed. As the majority of Louie’s journey takes place in his imagination, set design and costume options abound.
