This outstanding play empowers girls of all ages to pursue their dreams and see the obstacles in their way as challenges, not impossibilities.

Take Angela, a teenage girl who dreams of playing major league baseball. Alone in her room, she envisions pitching in the World Series. At the highpoint of her imaginary game, she s interrupted by her older sister Jennifer, who barges in and once again mocks her sister s ridiculous dream. Angela s on the defensive, but she suddenly gets unexpected help from some improbable visitors!

Athlete Babe Didrikson mysteriously enters her room the first of eight women from history who appear and impress Angela with the importance of believing in yourself and following your dream, even when others tell you it s impossible.

These female historical figures relate tales of adventure and achievement that include a race around the world, record-setting aviation feats, spy accounts from the Civil War, the forming of anti-lynching societies and the March of the Mill Children. Angela doesn t see herself in the same league as these impressive role models... that is, until Elizabeth Cady Stanton arrives and instigates a revolution! She and her cohorts inspire and empower Angela to begin implementing a step-by-step strategy to actually pursue her dream.
