MAGIC OWL THEATRE 2012

Adapted from the novel by T. H. White.

TLP gives you the unique page-to-stage experience with this story that makes up the first part of White’s tales of King Arthur he collected in his series of books, The Once And Future King. The source material has inspired countless other books, films, plays, television production and two Broadway musicals over the last 75 years.

With enough magic and fantasy to easily introduce kindergarten and early elementary students to a classic tale and enough serious themes to keep middle school students engaged, The Sword in the Stone is an ideal choice for a broad age range. It is also a great way to integrate the creative arts into a standard curriculum, by expanding a classic novel into the visual and performing arts.

There will be twelve performances of The Sword in the Stone starting Tuesday, May 8 and running through Friday, May 11, 2012.

Show times are 9:45 a.m., 11:15 a.m. and 1:00 p.m.

Performances will be 45 minutes to one hour long.

Admission is $5.00 per person with one free adult ticket for every ten paid students.
