Magic City presented by Chicago Children's Theatre at The Station

Chicago Stage and Screen - Highly Recommended

"...Without ever speaking a word, the characters show us the highs of feeling safe and loved and the lows of loss and change. There is no patronizing to the young audience; they are trusted to handle the complexities of the themes in the stories and are invited to feel the sadness, anger, and joy of Phillamena and her new stepbrother, Lucas."

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...The ensemble of this theater company works very hard to build a show that will keep youngsters glued to the action and I must tell you, it works. This production is geared for 6 and up, yet the young man sitting in front of me Emil, age 3 made it through 48 of the 55 minutes without a squirm."

Chicago Culture Authority - Highly Recommended

"...It’s a welcome return engagement for a beguiling piece of entertainment exploring the difficult moments of big change children are often forced to face, whether it’s the death of a loved one, a move to a new home or a not entirely welcome addition to the family."
