The Children’s Inquiry

About the Show

Social workers tell Jelicia that she is their success story. Frank is on his eighth foster home. At school no one knows Amber and Angelica are in care. To own their present, these teenagers must first unearth their past. How else can they make a better future now? This isn’t just a musical. It is a call to arms about the value of childhood and how love can be found in the most unexpected places. A revolutionary true story crafted from the voices of the children themselves.

“Children aren’t silent. Children are fearless
