Rolla Public Schools Theatre is excited to announce our upcoming production of True Magic! An elf-narrator leads the audience through a musical journey, encountering Santa, Tinkerbell, a man named Ebenezer, a mysterious young magician, and a wonderful, stringless puppet. This original farce, which draws from many sources, including A Christmas Carol, The Comedy of Errors, and Barrie's Peter Pan, is full of mistaken identities, disguises, and unexpected twists and turns. Presented by our RPS 4th-12th grade students, it's the perfect show to kick off the holiday season.

Join us Friday, November 18th, at 7:00 p.m. or Saturday, November 19th, at 2:00 p.m. at the Rolla Middle School Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased in advance at bit.ly/RPSDRAMATIX or at the door 30 minutes prior to showtimes. Admission is $10 for adults, $7 for students and senior citizens, and $5 for children under 5.

The Power of Naviance in College & Career Exploration
