The Magical Mind of Billy Shakespeare
Kevin Rich
Magic Time is the perfect play for a young ensemble of actors who can handle both contemporary comedy and Shakespeare.
Inspired by the early days of the Steppenwolf Theatre, Magic Time shows a troupe of actors in a makeshift dressing room in the basement of a church.
Fueled by dedication and youthful enthusiasm, the backstage relationships cleverly mirror the onstage ones as they prepare for a performance of Hamlet .
"There is an artful innocence....It is also delightful."

"Captivating....It is entirely winning."
