Amal Walks Across America: Amal’s Wish

Jerry Moss Plaza at the Music Center
135 N. Grand Ave. in Downtown L.A., CA 90012

Between September 7 and November 5, Little Amal is journeying 6,000 miles across the United States as part of Amal Walks Across America, one of the largest free public festivals ever created.

Center Theatre Group and The Music Center are excited to welcome Amal on the Jerry Moss Plaza on November 2, joining more than 35 towns and cities from Boston to San Diego and 1,000+ artists and arts organizations that will welcome her.

In collaboration with Miry’s List, we will be collecting blankets, shampoo, first aid kits, and more at the event to donate to refugees.

Amal Walks Across America is produced by The Walk Productions in association with Handspring Puppet Company.

Amal’s Wish: Amal continues her journey and joins in a moment of reflection and celebration for those who have made crossings. In a land of dreamers, she creates a new wish for herself and her family. Join Amal as she discovers many ways to make a wish through different cultures (interactive wishing stations) and befriends and joins Los Angeles based singers, dancers, and musicians on the Jerry Moss Plaza.

Amal's Wish will highlight wishing traditions from all over the world. There will be multiple interactive "Wishing Stations" across the plaza. There will be a Wishing Well (the Taper ponds), A Wishing Tree (based on a Turkish tradition),  Wishing Plaques (based on Japanese Tradition), and A Dia De Los Muertos Alter.
