The exceptional tale of Milo, Tock and a certain magic tollbooth is brought splendidly to life on stage in “The Phantom Tollbooth.”

Even surrounded by dozens of toys, Milo is bored. Nothing interests him at all. “The Phantom Tollbooth” comes to the rescue! Transported to the Land of Wisdom, Milo is thrust into adventure when told Princesses Rhyme and Reason need rescuing to bring peace between two kings. They are divided over which is more important: words or numbers. Knee-deep in danger, language and math along the way, Milo learns everything has a purpose. Upon his return home, he realizes there is never a reason to be bored in a world full of so many things to discover.
