The magician is sick in bed but the show must go on! Enter, The Magicians Assistant, who blunders onstage and has to entertain the crowd, without knowing how to perform any magic tricks. This adult friendly physical comedy for kids 3-10 is about the transformative power of believing in yourself and asking for help. The Magician's Assistant encourages empathy, laughter, and eating your veggies!
Pre show activities and video projections and animation by Ingrid Larson add an extra dose of unexpected folly to the show.
"The Magician's Assistant is the perfect show for families -- hilarious and full of heart! Mélissa Smith is a world-class comedienne whose charm is infectious. The expressions of pure joy on the faces of the young audience members is a true testament to the magic of her performance!" -Brittany Parker, Strand Theatre
