It's a special day for two young train cars: their very first day with the big train.  Dash is so excited he can barely stand still. But Starlight wishes she were at home with her mom.  Can Engine keep the train together and on track?  Or will a sudden temper tantrum derail everyone's plans? This interactive musical was developed with input from early childhood education experts and artistic staff at the Chernin Center for the Arts and Theatre Building Chicago.
