Synopsis

Can an altered past lead to a better future?

A touching story of fate, second chances and accepting what we can’t change.

Jasmine Starr-Kidd is a 12-year-old computer genius who can hack into the AT&T mainframe, build an artificially-intelligent friend named Grace, and convince the Department of Defense to send her high-powered lasers.

But when she realizes that time travel is a lot easier to figure out than trying to convince her parents to get back together (no matter how many statistics she shows them), she decides to take matters into her own hands.

The Many Wondrous Realities of Jasmine Starr-Kidd is a heartwarming story of second chances and learning that sometimes the things you can't change are the things that should have happened all along.

— Broadway World
