Theatreworks/NYC, the New York branch of the award-winning country-wide children's company Theatreworks/USA, began its first season in residency at Off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre on July 13 with the premiere of Walk Two Moons.

The play by Julia Jordan, which is adapted from the book of the same name by Sharon Creech, "follows a girl on a road trip across the country with her eccentric grandparents. Her tales of life back home, by turns hilarious and touching, create a journey within a journey as she and her know-it-all best friend discover that things aren’t always what they seem."

Walk Two Moons is scheduled to run through Aug. 14.
