How far can your imagination take you? Earth to Kenzie

Opera in the Neighborhoods returns for both school and public performances of Earth to Kenzie, a Lyric co-commission.

Meet Kenzie, a fifth grader with homework, asthma, and a big imagination. When she and her mother have to move into a family shelter, Kenzie finds refuge in the world of video games alongside her avatar, Edwin. Through their imaginary space adventures, Kenzie dares to go farther than ever before. Can she find the confidence to make friends and succeed in the classroom? And can she find her way home?
