Lily and the Magic Stones by Benjamin Tyler Roberts and Sam Roberts
Lily's grandmother encourages her adventurous spirit much to her mother's dismay. But as Lily discovers a pair of mysterious stones, grandmother worries, too. For if the legend of the stones holds true, grandmother knows that grave danger is ahead for the girl. The evil Baron also knows the power of the stones and concocts a plan that could mean the destruction of Lily's home forever. Join Lily and her animal friends on their journey through the Dark Forest as they battle goblins and strive to thwart the Baron’s nefarious scheme. Join us for our public performances in the Main Stage Theatre in Artis Center on November 15, 2025 at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
