Overview

“It isn’t fair that our town doesn’t have its own theater,” eight-year-old Hannah complains.

A lot of thinking, planning, dreaming, and list- making later, and Hannah – along with the kids of Raccoon River – are up to their ears in a brand new project: saving the town’s old abandoned Plaza Theater. But first, they have to get a look inside. It’s spooky – spider webs and creaky floors, and one slowly-swaying stage curtain. Can Hannah and her friends rally the community together to save the Plaza Theater?
