Sylvester and the Magic Pebble
From the author of Shrek

Show Time: Tuesday, February 28, 2012 at 10:00am
Tickets: $9.00 per person for groups of 10 or more, $14.00 for  individuals

When Sylvester, a winsome donkey, picks up a shiny red pebble, its magic spins a heartwarming story that reveals to him the true importance of family and friends. This charming story has now been adapted for the stage by Enchantment Theatre Company, drawn from the much-loved children’s book, Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, written and illustrated by William Steig, author of Shrek - inspiration for the popular film series and the hit Broadway musical.

Sylvester and the Magic Pebble was honored with the prized Caldecott Medal for children’s literature. This tale has engaged the imagination and captivated the hearts and souls of children and families everywhere.

In Enchantment’s production, Sylvester learns that magic works very well sometimes - he can turn the rain on and off! - but it can also work against him - when he transforms himself into a rock to escape a hungry lion. How will he escape from the rock? How will his loving family ever find him? Will he ever get home?

Enchantment, one of America’s ground-breaking producers of original theater for children and families, utilizes all its theatrical signature elements - life-size puppets, masked actors, magical illusions, and original musical score, to follow Sylvester’s brave journey.

(Appropriate for Pre K-3rd grade)
