Simone, Half and Half

Live Theatre at Lester B Pearson Theatre

School Group event designed for Grades 6 – 8.

70 minutes in length

This year, FOLD Kids Book Fest is partnering with Carousel Players to present a theatre production of Simone, Half and Half at Lester B. Pearson Theatre (150 Central Park Dr, Brampton, ON L6T 1B4) on Friday, November 8 at 10am ET.

Fourteen-year-old Simone is caught between cultures: Canadian, Québécois, and Trinidadian. She’s also torn between friends and the projects they want her to take part in. Can Simone find the courage to stand up for what she believes in? Will her friends accept the choices she makes? And will she finally learn to be more comfortable with herself? Simone, Half and Half is a touching story about finding one’s place between identities and communities.
