Area homeschoolers to present children's musical
Area homeschoolers will present "Penny and the Magic Medallion on Friday, March 31, at the Wabash and Erie Canal Park Interpretive Center in Delphi, at 6:30 p.m.
"Penny and the Magic Medallion" is a children's musical set in the mythical kingdom- "when" is a good question!-of King Reginald the Righteous, who is always right and never wrong.
When King Reginald complains that his servants aren't up to par, he is visited by an elfish person who presents him with a magic medallion, which is able to transform anybody into a highly-efficient robot.
King Reginald has to crack the code to discover the magic words, "I Am Wrong" and say them out loud, to bring the kingdom back to normal.
Chock full of singing and dancing and important themes and lessons for children of all ages (the values of literacy, humility, respect for others, loyalty, etc.), "Penny and the Magic Medallion" is, above all, good, clean fun. It has audience participation and is only an hour long.
"Penny" is presented by the Master's Voice Players Drama Club, out of Delphi. The drama club has gone by other names in the past, and has presented such productions as "Little Women," "Emma," or "Uncle Tom's Cabin" over the years.
This latest production is the club's first musical, presented by a cast of seven, and starring Heather Glenn as Penny and Thomas Glenn as the King. The director is Margie Haley and the music director is Debbie Glenn.
Single-ticket price is $3, or 2 for $5. For a family ticket with 8 or more, the price is $2 each. Tickets may be purchased in advance by contacting Margie Haley at 574652-4505. If the first performance sells out, another one will be held immediately following.
