Magic City Reviews
Chicago Tribune- Recommended
"...I'd recommend "The Magic City" for roughly 6- to 11-year-olds, and if you are introducing any kind of familial change or blending into your kids' lives, you'll find it especially helpful, I think. It even made this grown man think about throwing down a new bridge or two, and taming his inner Godzilla. On some occasions."
Chicago Reader- Recommended
"...Here's a brilliant idea: Take an abandoned police station in the West Loop, invest millions of state dollars, and create a multiroom theater for a worthy company. Remind us that art might still be our best hope in these uncertain times. At Chicago Children's Theatre's new permanent space, the Station, Manual Cinema presents a play about nine-year-old Philomena, an orphan raised by her much older sister, Helen."
