A favorite in middle school classrooms comes to life on stage! A vacant lot in a broken neighborhood in the middle of the city can become a lot of things. A garbage dump. A gathering spot for trouble. How could it ever be a source of hope? A dozen different characters and their stories come to life, beginning with Kim, a nine-year-old Vietnamese immigrant who plants six precious lima beans. One by one, the people of his community, many also immigrants, sow seeds of hope amid the dirt and grit, tending dreams to full bloom. As the garden grows, so does the community, blooming into something bigger, better, and beyond all expectations. As told by award-winning novelist Paul Fleischman, the garden draws neighbors out of their lonely isolation to rediscover and celebrate the community around them. SEEDFOLKS is adapted from the book by Newbery Medal-winning author Paul Fleischman. It is produced in special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. and directed by Jess Shoemaker. Metro Theater Company presents SEEDFOLKS as part of its 2022/23 50th Anniversary Season. SEEDFOLKS is live at the Grandel Theatre October 9 - November 6 and streams October 19 - November 6.
