Showtime With Shakespeare
Hip Hop in Elizabethan England? Yes! In this delightful musical adaptation of Magic Tree House #25: Stage Fright on a Summer Night, Jack and Annie travel back to sixteenth century London to help the most famous playwright of all time stage a play for a very special guest: Queen Elizabeth I! Set to a modern hip hop groove, this show introduces kids to Shakespeare’s own special kind of magic and demonstrates how history is shaped by those who learn to overcome their fears.
