"One of the most popular characters in children's books, Flat Stanley has become a hero to so many young students," said BCT Executive Artistic Director Burgess Clark. "With this production we are encouraging theater goers to let their imaginations soar, just as Flat Stanley does as he travels all over the world in search of adventure and fun. We hope audience members will bring their own Flat Stanleys to the theater to experience this live stage performance together!"
