Synopsis

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 .
