Back by popular demand, THE HUNDRED DRESSES returns to the Wallis Theater for an encore summer engagement following its successful sold out run this past fall. Wanda Petronski -- the new girl at school -- claims to have 100 beautiful dresses at home – despite wearing the same faded blue dress every day. Classmate Maddie Martin joins the rest of the kids at the elementary school in teasing Wanda for speaking strangely, having a funny last name and living in the wrong part of town. When the teasing gets out of hand, Maddie is faced with a tough decision.
