Twelve-year-old Theo Boone is on trial for stealing the Bill of Rights! With a signed letter of permission from his parents, Theo decides that the best lawyer to try his case is himself. Join the Geffen Playhouse Story Pirates as they team up with Penguin Young Readers Group for this legal comedy based on John Grisham's #1 New York Times best selling children's novel. Kids in the audience join professional actors on stage to become the jury, witnesses and lawyers in this high-stakes trial.  With the help of a no-nonsense judge and an overly-emotional security guard, Theo will have to think on his feet to prove it was impossible for him to steal the document. He may even stumble upon the true culprit!
