Meet the Lincoln Sisters of Deckawoo Drive—opposites in every way, but bound by family, heart, and hilariously unexpected adventures. This charming spin-off from the beloved Mercy Watson series shines a spotlight on the no-nonsense Eugenia Lincoln and her sweet, spirited sister Baby. Baby Lincoln embarks on an exciting journey while her sister encounters an extraordinary package. Guided by the people they meet on the train, their nosy neighbors, and Mercy the pig, they make important discoveries about themselves – perhaps most importantly, that they love each other. With laugh-out-loud moments and tender surprises, this stage adaptation celebrates the power of change, sisterhood, and the joy of embracing the unknown.
