"Carmela Full of Wishes" at Chicago Children's Theatre

About this event

It’s Carmela’s birthday, and her wish has already come true–she’s finally old enough to join her big brother as he does the family errands. On their way to the laundromat, Carmela finds a lone dandelion growing in the pavement and gets ready to make a wish. Should she wish for Mami, who works long hours in a hotel trying to make ends meet? Or Papi, a migrant worker who is currently…absent? Join families from all over the city for this moving ode to family, to dreamers, and to finding hope in the most unexpected places, based on the book by Matt de la Peña.
