Dedham Author to Appear at Local Debut of Musical Based on His Books

Greater Boston Stage Company's Performance of the Musical based on Peter H.Reynolds' Storybooks About Creativity set for SATURDAY, APRIL 13

BOSTON, MA - Boston area fans of New York Times bestselling author Peter H. Reynolds have a rare chance to catch DOT DOT DOT: A New Musical based on his beloved “Creatrilogy” trio of picture books by The Dot, Ish, and Sky Color at the Greater Boston Stage Company this Saturday, April 13th at 12 noon.

Adapted by Composers Keelay Gipson and Sam Salmond, the musical, like the series, celebrates the power of originality, self-expression, and opening our eyes to look beyond the expected. When Marisol (Sky Color), a young artist and curator of the Musee de Marisol, decides that her gallery requires more than her own art, her search for emerging talent leads her to Vashti (The Dot), whose dots inspire Ramon (Ish) to become an artist in his own right.

Reynolds shares, “The team members at Greater Boston Stage Company are kindred spirits on the creativity mission - for all ages - and I urge everyone to do their own dot connecting and be sure to spread the word about GBSC and this performance of the DOT, DOT, DOT musical.”

The musical follows Marisol’s journey to help her new friends, and her entire community, break free from self-criticism and learn to let their imaginations soar.

Located just fifteen minutes from downtown Boston, the Greater Boston Stage Company has already hosted several sold out student matinees of DOT DOT DOT on Thursday and Friday.
