That's the case with Clemson Area Youth Theatre's production, as reported today in this article from Upstate Today. According to first-time director Heather Edwards, part of that magic comes from the story itself.
"I just love how magical it is and how it brings back a lot of childhood memories with reading a lot of the old classics, like Wizard of Oz, Tom Sawyer," she says. "I just thought that would be such an amazing show."
But a lot of the magic comes from the kids themselves. And with 23 in the cast, as well as several in the crew, there are plenty of them involved in the production. "The show is pretty much run by the kids."
"The most fun part is just seeing the kids light up and becoming their characters," Edwards adds. "Even though we've done it many, many times, it's always something new, and something new brought to the characters, and it's just such a wonderful experience to go through with them."
The show runs March 13-15 and 20-22 at Clemson Little Theatre in Pendleton. If you'd like to add a magic to your life, you won't want to miss it.
