A WIND IN THE DOOR AT THE KC One of literature’s favorite heroines, Meg Murry, is back to join forces with her brother Charles Wallace and friend Calvin O’Keefe for a fantastical adventure. Playwright Jacqueline Goldfinger and director Nicole A. Watson bring the sequel to Madeleine L’Engle’s beloved book A Wrinkle in Time to the stage. When an extraterrestrial being recruits the trio to fight an evil force, they’ll travel across a galaxy—and through the cells of a human body—to stop it. This thrilling sci-fi story reveals that love and kindness are the best antidotes to evil. On stage at the Kennedy Center from Sept. 2 to 11, it is most appropriate for ages nine, up. $20. Proof of full vaccination required. Children under 12 must provide recent negative COVID test. All must be masked. kennedy-center.org.
