A WRINKLE IN TIME Adapted by John Glore from the book by Madeleine L’Engle February 5 - 27, 2010 Julianne Argyros Stage
A beloved 20th-Century children’s classic comes to life in a new adaptation by SCR’s own John Glore. In the tradition of Narnia and Harry Potter, this fantasy adventure sends Meg Murray and her little brother, Charles Wallace, on a quest across space and time to rescue their father from the evil, all-powerful IT. Meg and Charles have the magical help of three eccentric sisters named Mrs. Who, Mrs. Which and Mrs. Whatsit, but in the end they must rely on their own resources to accomplish their task. This highly theatrical adaptation will offer a celebration of the art of story-telling and the power of imagination.
