Calling all Gracie fans and parents!
The award-winning animated YouTube series Gracie’s Corner is stepping off the screen and onto the stage for the very first time. With the support of Live Nation, Gracie’s Corner Live: Gracie’s Global Adventure will bring its music, movement, and magic to audiences across the country, starting August 9 in Atlanta and making stops in Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Detroit, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, and more, the family announced on ATL Live.
Launched in June 2020 by Dr. Javoris Hollingsworth and his then 8-year-old daughter Graceyn Hollingsworth, Gracie’s Corner was born out of a desire to see more Black children represented in educational media. What started as a creative project during the early days of the pandemic has grown into a cultural force, beloved by millions.
Gracie’s mom, Dr. Arlene Gordon-Hollingsworth, a psychologist and co-creator of the show, plays a vital role in shaping the show’s educational framework. Together, the Hollingsworth family is the heart behind Gracie’s Corner, working to ensure that every episode uplifts, educates, and reflects the richness of Black culture.

Since its debut, Gracie’s Corner has earned widespread acclaim, picking up multiple NAACP Image Awards, a 2023 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice nomination, and a 2025 BET Awards nod for Graceyn herself. The series even collaborated with R&B legend Charlie Wilson for a feel-good single titled “Have a Good Time.”
Now, the magic is coming to life on stage. Gracie’s Corner Live will feature fan-favorite songs, dynamic characters, and all the energy families have come to love from the show, live and in person.
This tour is more than a sing-along, it’s a celebration of Black joy, learning, and family. And it’s just getting started.
