“Peace On Your Wings” is a new musical inspired by the life of Sadako Sasaki, a 12-year old Japanese girl who died from leukemia resulting from radiation caused by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. She was made famous for having folded over a thousand paper cranes to fulfill an old Japanese legend that would grant one wish to anyone who would fold one thousand cranes. To this day she is a reminder of innocent victims of war, and her story of her thousand paper cranes has inspired an international movement of folding cranes for peace.
The Bay Area all-youth cast hails from San Francisco, Santa Clara, Marin and Alameda Counties.
