Bold, Brave, Curious!
By Mariah L. Richardson 
World premiere commissioned by Metro Theater Company 

Nine-year-old Delilah has sworn to be BFFs with Lupe and Stanley, but when Stanley’s foster mom falls ill, secrets and lies threaten to tear the friends apart. Can the mysterious, magical object they find in Grandmomma’s attic bring them back together? 

Bold, Brave, Curious! illuminates the power of friendship and empowers young people to examine friendship, bias, community, and individual power.  
 
This first production of MTC’s 50th anniversary season is the next chapter in St. Louis-based playwright Mariah Richardson’s ongoing series about Madeline Delilah, a thoughtful and precocious girl, whose story first appeared on the stage at MTC  more than 11 years ago with the world premiere of Delilah’s Wish. 

Best enjoyed by ages 8 and up. Approximate run time is 50 minutes with no intermission.
