MILO IMAGINES THE WORLD is a musical odyssey of imagination. Through vibrant song, expressive dance, and a whole lot of imagination, this magical, musical journey takes us through the mind of a child, as he learns to not judge a book by its cover. A journey from house to home, this play is a real ride!

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Foundation’s annual program, bringing
together artists, organizations, and communities to build a stronger and more equitable
future for communities in the Great Lakes region.
