Lifeline Theatre KidSeries Presents THE TIME WARP TRIO

Lifeline Theatre's KidSeries presents the world premiere of The Time Warp Trio, based on the children's series by Jon Scieszka, Illustrated by Lane Smith, with adaptation by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Frances Limoncelli, and directed by Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Heather Currie. When Joe receives a magical book for his birthday, he and his pals are unexpectedly hurled across time and space. They first arrive in Camelot, a land menaced by an evil knight, a terrible giant, and a fire-breathing dragon. With quick thinking and a dash of courage the newly formed "Time Warp Trio" manages to survive, but the mysterious Book soon thrusts them into further adventures - each more challenging than the last! Save the day with wit and bravery in this adaptation of stories from Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's Time Warp Trio series.
