Pendragon’s production of The Gift of the Magi is part of our Moveable Feast series, taking shows out and about and into the community!

What makes this production special? Led by director Laura-Jean Swanson, our production has been created by improvisation and devised theatre, using the original text as source material and then allowing our talented students and artists to create their own personal and unique Gift of the Magi.

Join us for this 45 minute production, filled with music, joy and fun.

Must reserve in advance HERE. Suggested donation of $15 at the door.
