MAGICAL THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS
THE BFG (Big
Friendly Giant)
Magical Theatre
Company, Northeast Ohio’s professional resident and touring
theatre for young audiences and families,
announces the opening of Roald Dahl’s favorite book, The BFG (Big Friendly Giant) on October 14.
“I is a nice
and jumbly giant. I is the only nice and jumbly giant in Giant Country!
I is the Big
Friendly Giant! I is the BFG.”
A
friendly giant with vocabulary problems delivers sweet dreams to children. With
the help of Sophie, a plucky, young orphan, he embarks on a quest to save the
children of England from the “frightsome” child-eating giants. This fantastical
world of towering giants and magical adventures is a “gloriumptious
ringbeller!”
Adapted
from the book by Roald Dahl and directed by Holly Barkdoll, The BFG stars Mark Ross of Akron in the
title role and Caroline Martin of Norton making her Magical Theatre Company
debut as Sophie. Highlighting the play will be 12’ giants onstage. Magnificent giant
puppets created by Magical Theatre Company’s resident “Creature Maker” Mark
Jenks, will be a delight for all to experience – even if some of them do eat
children.
The BFG runs October 14 – 23: Fridays at 7:30pm, Sat 10/15 at
7:30pm, Sat 10/22 at 2:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Reserve online at www.magicaltheatre.org or call (330) 848-3708.
The newly renovated Magical Theatre Company is located at 565 W.
Tuscarawas Avenue in Barberton, Ohio.
