The NeverEnding Story
September 26-28
Adapted by David S. Craig, Based on the novel by Michael Ende.
Hiding in the attic of his school, Bastian begins to read and, unseen to him, the story is enacted below. Fantastica, a land of stories, is in danger; The Nothing engulfs everything in its path. The Childlike Empress chooses an unlikely hero, Atreyu, a boy of Bastian’s age, to go on a quest to save their world.
Atreyu’s adventure takes him through the Swamps of Sadness, to Morla the Turtle, Ygramul the Many, and the maze of the Southern Oracle. He loses his horse, Artax, but gains the friendship of Falkor, the Luck Dragon. In this hero’s journey, Atreyu must face the werewolf Gmork who is bent on the destruction of all imagination itself.
Approx. 90 Minutes. Appropriate for all ages (but jeez, that horse scene is tough).
Thurs-Sat @ 7pm. Saturday matinee @ 2pm.
