STREGA NONA


Maximum Entertainment Productions
Friday, February 12 at 7 PM

Based on the children's books by Tomie dePaola

This new musical tells the tale of a friendly witch who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town of Calabria. The town faces real problems when Big Anthony sneaks a peek at Strega Nona's magic book and uses her magical ways for selfish means. When Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, and can't figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town — unless Strega Nona can save the day. With an energetic and tuneful score, this fantastical tale teaches that witches can be good, and that and you can't judge a pot by its pasta!
