Local mother-daughter author duo Arika Parr and Ava Johnson’s picture book comes to the stage in But What Can You Do? from Metro Theater Company. Ava is not so good at cartwheels, and after many attempts - and just as many tumbles – she feels defeated.

Now...think about all the things YOU can do!
This story includes themes of positive thinking, growth mindset, co-parenting, music, and more!
But What Can You Do? is best enjoyed by ages 4 and up.
