Told with whimsy, humor and moments of danger and intrigue, Norton Juster’s enduring fantasy adventure novel is brought to life on the stage. Milo, a bored young boy whose bedroom is overflowing with toys, receives a strange package containing a make-believe tollbooth. As he drives through it in his toy car, he is transported to a magical world.

Milo soon realizes all is not well in the Lands Beyond. He and his new companions — the watchdog Tock and the braggart beetle Humbug — set out on an epic journey to rescue the Princesses Sweet Rhyme and Pure Reason. Along the way, Milo learns valuable lessons that give him the ability to beat each obstacle with knowledge and humor.

The production team will be Tianxuan Chen as scenic designer, Sabrina Brookshire as lighting designer, Casey Mercurio as costume designer and Kristie Bradshaw as stage manager.
