The Magic Hour's run extended at Presentation House Theatre, to September 4

The immersive theatrical experience is proving to be a hit with local audiences

By Gail Johnson

THE MAGIC HOUR is experiencing its own special moment: due to popular demand, the immersive theatrical experience at Presentation House Theatre has been extended to September 4.

Created and conceived by award-winning theatre director Kim Collier with playwright Kendra Fanconi, the mixed-media show was originally scheduled to wrap up on August 22.

Electric Company Theatre, Innovation Lighting, and Presentation House Theatre produced and are presenting the work, which invites audiences to go on a solo walk-through room-by-room journey. The story is about finding beauty and joy within the everyday and peace amid isolation.
