With that, however, comes the need for children to retain confidence in their own heritage while empathizing with people who might seem very different from them. The protagonists of these four plays-written for the world-renowned Children's Theatre Company of Minneapolis-strive to achieve that balance with determination, love, and humor. The richness and relevance of these plays lie in their complex portraits of diversity and cultural collision.
