Creede Repertory Theatre’s Young Audience Outreach Tour is a program that reaches under served children with a bilingual educational musical performed by two actors. The tour lasts three months, has two casts doing simultaneous tours, and is managed on the road by one tour manager with a truck. Best Foot Forward is the story of two kids, Sawyer and Lil G, from the country and the city, who compete against each other in a dance competition but eventually learn their differences make them stronger together. Contrasting color pallets were utilized to differentiate the rural and urban worlds of the children, and everything could be machine washed and changed quickly over a base costume.
