Manual Cinema’s The Magic City

Manual Cinema’s first all-ages show introduces Philomena and her big sister Helen, who love building miniature cities out of books, toys and household objects. Until Helen starts seeing a new boyfriend, Brandon, that is. Even worse, she’s expected to make friends with Brandon’s son, Lucas, the most annoying boy in the world. So Philomena retreats into building the biggest tiny city ever: a magic city only for her. Then, one night, Philomena’s city of found objects comes to life, and she finds herself trapped inside. Will Philomena find her way out—and will she let her new family in?

Brought to life through Manual Cinema’s magical fusion of actors, puppets, miniatures, and live music, THE MAGIC CITY encourages kids to build bridges rather than walls.
