By Susan Nanus. Based on the book by Norton Juster.

Directed by Jen Ryle.

In the land beyond The Phantom Tollbooth, Milo befriends a Watchdog named Tock, and together they encounter a host of other strange and wonderful characters brought to life by OFT’s youth only cast and crew. Milo’s adventures take him to the Kingdom of Wisdom where he’s forced to think about many new things. Milo learns of the argument between King Azaz and his brother, the Mathemagician whose disagreement over words and numbers has led to the banishment of Princesses Rhyme and Reason. Milo is dispatched to rescue the Princesses and the knowledge and skills he picks up on his journey help him to save the Princesses. When he must return home, Milo’s sorry to leave his friends— but enriched by his experience, he realizes his attitude towards learning will never be the same.

All performances will be held at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts. More info on the Tickets page.
