Morrison Center Offers Free Family Tickets to Furloughed Federal Government Employees
In support of federal government employees affected by the current government shutdown, the Morrison Center is offering a free family four-pack of tickets to all furloughed government employees. The four-pack of tickets is good for the upcoming performance of The Phantom Tollbooth on Thursday, April 18th at 7:00 PM at the Morrison Center.
The Phantom Tollbooth is an all-ages show, lasting approximately 60 minutes. "Milo, the boy 'who didn't know what to do with himself,' drives his toy car through a mysterious tollbooth that appears in his bedroom and soon finds himself on an eventful and dangerous quest rescuing the Princesses Rhyme and Reason, who have been banished to the Castle in the Air. Milo travels through the Forest of Sight where he experiences different Points of View, accidentally leaps to the Island of Conclusions and travels through the Mountains of Ignorance, where he must escape its Demons in order to save the Princesses. Along the way something magical happens to Milo; he discovers the delights of friendship, curiosity and knowledge, and that life -his own life- is filled with endless possibilities." The complimentary study guide for the show is accessible online: The Phantom Tollbooth Study Guide.
