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 forever—and the Magic Tree House will be destroyed! Rising to each new challenge with courage, humor, and resourcefulness, Jack and Annie eventually discover that memory and imagination are gifts we can all use to fill our lives with magic. An enchanting blend of song, story, and spectacular stagecraft, “Magic Tree House: The Musical” is a joyous and melodic treat that will keep kids (and grownups!) on the edge of their seats.

Endgame

Price: $ 25.00 - $ 79.00 Phone: (617) 478-3100
By Samuel Beckett Directed by Marcus Stern
Spare, enigmatic, and absurdly funny, “Endgame” charts a day in the life of a
family fallen on mysteriously hard times: blind and chair-bound Hamm, his
beleaguered servant Clov, his parents Nagg and Nell, who live in two ashbins and
long for sugar-plums, and a black toy dog with a
missing leg.
Beckett’s language is honed to a distilled beauty, and his archetypal characters achieve a poetic grace despite their bizarre condition. Fifty years after it burst onto the world’s stages, “Endgame” is as exquisite and surprising as ever.
Marcus Stern, who has created some of the A.R.T.’s most visually stunning shows including Donnie Darko, The Onion Cellar, Nocturne, and Buried Child, directs this modern masterpiece, which features the comic geniuses of the Resident Acting Company, Remo Airaldi, Thomas Derrah, Will LeBow, and Karen MacDonald.
