Here is a look at the opening night:
Dear Edwina, according to production notes, is "a heartwarming show about the joys and frustrations of growing up. The show’s spunky heroine, Edwina Spoonable, is an advice-giver extraordinaire. Told through a show-within-a-show format, Edwina shares her wisdom on everything from setting the table to making new friends through clever, catchy and poignant songs. Whether you're a kid living through it or an adult reminiscing about your childhood, everyone in the audience can identify with the characters and cheer their success."
