The Magic City - Segerstrom Center for the Arts
*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 03/02/2025
Loosely adapted from Edith Nesbit’s 1910 novel, Manual Cinema’s The Magic City tells the story of nine-year-old Philomena, who must learn to build a new life with some unexpected characters. Her older sister and legal guardian announces that she is engaged and the two must now go live with her fiancé.
Left alone in her new home and forced to make friends with her annoying stepbrother, Philomena secludes herself in the attic where she builds a huge miniature city. Later that night, she wakes to discover that the city has come alive! Using overhead projectors, paper shadow puppets, actors on camera, and live music, Manual Cinema’s adaptation of The Magic City is a modern retelling that explores the complexities and joys of building a family.
This show is part of our Explorer Series, recommended for families with children ages 7 and up.
