THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS LIVE
Presented by Victoria Theatre Association as part of the PNC Family Series
March 24-25
Dayton

Seatbelts everyone! THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS® celebrates its 25th anniversary with an all-new musical adventure. Ms. Frizzle’s students are putting on a play about global warming, and they need some cold, hard facts. The Friz and her reptilian sidekick, Liz, know just where to find them! This is no ordinary field trip, as a hop on the Magic School Bus takes the class and the audience on a whirlwind tour. From the Arctic to the equator, they see telltale signs of climate change and learn how conservation, recycling and alternative energy can make a positive difference. Recommended for ages 4-10.
