The Montgomery County Community College Montco Cultural Center will present TheaterWorksUSA’s family musical, “The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System” based on the popular book series published by Scholastic books.
“The Magic School Bus” will be presented on Sunday, Sept. 21 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at MCCC’s theater at Montco Cultural Center, Science Center, Blue Bell Campus, 1313 Morris Road, Blue Bell, PA 19422. Doors open half an hour before each show, and parking is free.
Tickets can be purchased by visiting the Montco Cultural Center events landing page.
Families will love watching their favorite characters from the classic book and TV
series explore the atmosphere on Mercury, Venus, and Mars on an epic interplanetary
field trip. Guided by Ms. Frizzle, the class must pull together to find their way
across the galaxy while learning as much about teamwork as they do about the solar
system. The performances are recommended for ages 4-10.
“The Magic School Bus: Lost in the Solar System” is written by Marshall Pailet (book) and Matthew Lee Robinson (music and lyrics), based on the book series by Joanna Cole and Bruce Degen. The original creative team includes direction and choreography by Connor Gallagher (Broadway: “Beetlejuice”), set design by Jason Sherwood (Broadway: “Living on Love”), costume design by Sarah Cubbage (Broadway: “Skylight,” “Fish in the Dark”), and lighting design by David Lander (Broadway: “The Lightning Thief,” “Torch Song”).
