Fueled by community love and soaring attendance since 2022, this literacy powerhouse is helping kids who struggle with reading discover joy in books. From Delano to Frazier Park, every performance sparks wonder—and one little girl’s post-Little Mermaid confession proves it’s working: she’s now reading more than ever.
