Magic Tree House: The Musical February 15, 2009

Eisenhower Auditorium

Based on the best-selling children’s book series by Mary Pope Osborne, Magic Tree House: The Musical transports one of Jack and Annie’s Merlin Missions to the stage in a full-scale theatrical event for the whole family. To restore joy and magic to King Arthur’s kingdom, the brother-and-sister team must travel to Camelot’s dreaded Otherworld and return with water from the mythical Cauldron of Memory and Imagination. If they fail, Camelot will be lost and forgotten, and the Magic Tree House will be destroyed. “Reading and writing are about the magic of the imagination,” Osborne notes. “This musical, in my opinion, multiplies that magic ten times.” The musical, an enchanting mix of actors, story, song, large puppets, and stagecraft, makes its first national tour after debuting in September 2007.

Audio description, which is especially helpful to patrons with sight loss, is available for this performance at no extra charge to ticket holders.
