A children's fantasy by Bob May, Christopher Tibbetts and Roy C. Booth, based on an original story by Bob May.
Performance Dates: Oct. 6 - 8, 7 p.m.
Location: Judd Theatre
Director: Darrel Alexander
Story: Beanie Boren, a science wiz who is not keen on reading, has designed a book reading machine for the science fair. The machine combines a computer, a mini video camera, and a contraption of Beanie's own design to enable it to read one to three books at once. Unfortunately, the machine is neither user friendly nor bug free. When Beanie turns it on, lights flash, thunder booms, and out pop the witches from Snow White, Hansel and Gretel, and the Wizard of Oz, each set to wreak havoc! Beanie must get them back into the books with help from the good guys in the same stories. Afterward, he is eager to read about his new friends - the old fashioned way.
(Suitable for ages 5 and up)
