All Berkeley Shows Are Sold Out
Performing at Fort Mason Center March 18 & 19, 2023.
It’s not easy to take those first steps into a place where nobody really knows you yet…but somehow you do it. This west coast premiere musical is based on Jacqueline Woodson’s most popular picture books, a #1 New York Times bestseller illustrated by Rafael López and featured in its own episode in the Netflix original show Bookmarks: Celebrating Black Voices.
The Day You Begin is a poignant and heartening musical about finding courage to connect, even when you feel afraid.
Performance runs 50 minutes.
Take a look at our themed weekends and pose in our fun fashion shows!
