Eleven-year-old Winnie Foster yearns for a life of adventure beyond her white picket fence, but not until she becomes unexpectedly entwined with the Tuck Family does she get more than she could have imagined.

Read about our Child and Youth Safety Proctocols here. Every actor 18 and older will need to undergo a background check paid for by ACT1 and take a 1-hour online class detailing child/youth safety procedures.

We also provide adequate adult supervision of our actors younger than 18. We will be asking the parents of actors younger than 18 to volunteer to assist with this. Parent volunteers will need to undergo a background check and watch the 1-hour online video.
