This holiday season join Kaleidoscope on a thrilling epic adventure, in the spirit of The Lord of the Rings, which explores the glory and wonder of imagination. A young boy named Bastian seeks refuge from reality in the pages of a strange book. Hiding in the attic of his school, he begins to read and, unbeknownst to him, the story comes to life. Fantastica, a land of stories and imagination, is in danger; The Nothing threatens to engulf everything in its path. The Childlike Empress chooses an unlikely hero, Atreyu, a boy Bastian�s age, to go on a quest to save their world. Atreyu�s adventure takes him through the Swamps of Sadness, to Morla the Turtle, Ygramul the Many, and the maze of the Southern Oracle.

Based on Michael Ende�s classic German novel and the 1980�s film series, David S. Craig�s stage adaptation is a magical exploration of character and creativity. Children of all ages will delight at Bastian�s story as told by director Roderick Glanville and his team of artists, including production designer Miles Lowry (Kaleidoscope�s War of the Eagles, PAN and A Midsummer Night�s Dream). Making it�s Western Canada Premiere, Kaleidoscope�s production is sure to awaken the wonder of imagination for the young and young at heart.
