PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH is opening Friday!
We are so very excited about “The Phantom Tollbooth” being our first show of the season at Wheelock Family Theatre!
Jeffrey Sewell is playing the young Milo, bored with life to the point of lethargy, and Michael Wood plays the guiding Tock, a dog with a clock on his tummy!
Together, the duo seek the way to The Castle in the Air, where they hope to find the Princesses of Rhyme and Reason, reunite the kingdoms of Digitopolis and Dictionopolis, all the while chased down by the Demons of Insincerity and Lethargy, the Spelling Bee, the Humbug and the Dodecahedron, too!
In his magic car, and through his mysterious tollbooth, can Milo discover that there is anything that matters, at all?
I for one, can’t wait to find out!
Yours,
Beth Peters for Wheelock Family Theatre
