Lyons Township High School South Campus

Based on Natalie Babbitt’s beloved best-selling children’s fantasy novel, this spellbinding play is a heartwarming exploration of love, family, and what it truly means to be alive. Perfect for audiences of most ages and great for family chats!
In 1880, 14-year-old Winnie Foster — trapped by the rules of her strait-laced family — runs away and discovers the humble Tuck family, who accidentally stumbled upon a spring that gave them eternal life. Winnie promises to keep their secret, but a mysterious stranger arrives with intentions to steal the immortal water. Ultimately, Winnie must choose: join them in an everlasting adventure, or live a life of ordinary beauty.
