Area Attractions: TADA! Youth Theater (NYC)

TADA! Youth Theater will present “The History Mystery,” an original musical back by popular demand. This perennial audience favorite tells the story of three students who wander through American history and meet the people who have had to fight for freedom, women’s rights, and racial equality. Along the way, the three time-travelers meet history greats such as the Wright Brothers, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Eleanor Roosevelt as kids, influencing their futures to help make the world better for us today. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.tadatheater.com/shows/buy-tickets

TADA! Youth Theater’s original production of “The History Mystery” is based on the book written by Janine Nina Trevens, with music by Eric Rockwell and lyrics by Margaret Rose. The production is directed by Janine Nina Trevens. “The History Mystery” is choreographed by Joanna Greer, with music direction by Matthew Gregory, set design by Joel Sherry, costume design by Megan Turek, and lighting design by Steve O’Shea.

Since 1984, TADA!’s mission is to provide young people from all different backgrounds with musical theater programs that inspire them to be creative, learn, and think differently.
