Synopsis

Tested and perfected before many audiences, this enchanting show has been acclaimed both by children and by critics including a selection by the Los Angeles Times as one of the best shows of the year! It's a "magical" production in which actors suddenly say "I'm fire!" or "I'm a yellow submarine" and then portray what they've said. But in the midst of the fun there's substance, too, and as the Times critic suggests, "It's a children's show which celebrates the joys and dilemmas of childhood's anarchy." Especially helpful notes and directions are included as is a musical accompaniment that may be played on a guitar.

Customer Reviews

It is a fine show to be creative and teach life lessons. The kids love to do it.

Mary Everett, Pennsbury Drama, Princeton, N.J.

Magic Theatre is a prime example of theatre for children which creates anticipation, leading to young students' participation. It engaged them and held them.

Paul H. Johnson, Faribault High School, Faribault, MN

Great play for all ages. Children's material that has a wholesome message, and a lot of opportunity for humor.

Aviva Wolman, Teen Tour Theatre, Pierrefonds, Quebec, Canada

We used it as the final production for our two-week summer workshop. The actors ranged in age from 8 to 14. It was perfect. The music was easy enough to learn quickly, and suggested activities were great. The production was a resounding success.

Deborah Anderson, Mon Valley Actors & Artists, Monessen, Pa.

I use this show often because it is excellent for ensemble building. No matter if it is a children's, teen or adult audience, they always get involved.

Connie Haber, Pennsbury High School, Princeton, N.J.

We did the opening with white gloves and a black light. It added to the "magic."
