Manual Cinema's The Magic City | Winter 2025
Saturday, February 1, 2025 at 9:30AM

Chicago Children's Theatre
100 S. Racine Avenue
Chicago, IL 60607


Philomena and her big sister Helen love building miniature cities out of books, toys, and household objects. When Helen begins seeing a new boyfriend, Brandon, Philomena's world falls apart. Even worse, she's expected to make friends with Brandon's son, Lucas: the most annoying boy in the world. Forced to share her perfect life with Helen, Philomena retreats into building the biggest tiny city ever: a magic city only for her. Then, one night, Philomena's city of found objects comes to life, and she finds herself trapped inside. Will Philomena find her way out—and will she let her new family in?

Brought to life through Manual Cinema's magical fusion of actors, puppets, miniatures, and live music, THE MAGIC CITY encourages us to build bridges rather than walls.

Ideal for Ages 6 & Up.
