How far can your imagination take you? Earth to Kenzie
Opera in the Neighborhoods returns for both school and public performances of Earth to Kenzie, a Lyric co-commission.

When she and her mother have to move into a family shelter, Kenzie finds refuge in the world of video games alongside her avatar, Edwin.
