Four children find themselves stuck at the Golden Oaks Community Center, a local recreation center where they are sentenced to “the bad corner.” Dreading their boredom, the children welcome two newcomers: Rowan Harper, an eccentric, non-binary thespian, and their sidekick, Sadie Just Sadie. Loosely inspired by Man of La Mancha, Harper inspires the children to use their imagination to make the most of their time in the bad corner as they learn about themselves and each other, questioning how long they will be staying at the Golden Oaks Community Center.
      This story, set in the not-so-distant future, tells the tale of six children as they struggle with fates beyond their years and comprehension. What starts as a punishment becomes an obstacle created by a world outside of their control. The only way to survive is to find compassion for one another and to define what it means to truly live.
