Presented jointly with the American Repertory Theater at Harvard University

Inspired by the world premiere musical, Wonder, performing December 9th through February 8th at the American Repertory Theater (A.R.T.), this panel discussion explores the power of empathy and kindness in the face of bullying. Drawing on Wonder’s story of Auggie Pullman—a young boy with a facial difference navigating a new school—the conversation will examine the challenges of social belonging and the importance of creating inclusive environments where differences are celebrated. This event will feature a sharing of a song from the musical composed by Ian Axel and Chad King, the GRAMMY Award-winning duo behind A Great Big World.
