Fun and funny things happen in Toby’s Magic Forest. The children even help to make spring!

Tickets may be available at the door for CASH ONLY starting 30 minutes before the show

The Magic Forest Fun and Funny things happen in The Magic Forest. Every child helps with the magic. We make Spring - with a lot of help from the audience. The children raise the flowers. And then everyone can make a butterfly puppet to take home. This is a fan favorite because the children get to do so much.“A knack for finding lesser-known stories and distilling them to suit the tastes of the very young fans and keep them fascinated with low-key make-believe. The puppets are charming, the program never overexcites the audience, although there’s lots of time for participation.” -The New York Times“An unpretentious puppet play with real warmth and gentleness. Its success with young audiences is due to the charm and honesty of the presentation they feel from first to last.”  -New York Magazine<a target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>
