"The Happiest Place on Earth": Loss Spurs Journey to Magical Kingdom

Once upon a time in an orange grove in Anaheim, California, a magical kingdom was built and dedicated to America's history, dreams and wildest hopes. Eight years later, an American prince died on live television while delivering the Albuquerque sports scores, leaving four daughters and their mother behind. Left reeling from the loss of their patriarch, the family underwent a quest to reach the magical kingdom and seek solace and recovery. Now, more than 50 years after their journey, acclaimed playwright Philip Dawkins retraces and illustrates the true story of the women in his family in "The Happiest Place on Earth", exploring their history and asking if there really is a place where dreams can come true.
