MILLENNIUM MAGIC 2023 Opens November 17 At Theatre West

Jeanine Anderson and George Tovar host and produce Millennium Magic 2023 program of magic and illusion for Theatre West. They perform with the area's finest magicians.

Back in 1999, magician, actor and Theatre West member George Tovar originated Millennium Magic, an annual festival of Magic Castle magicians performing for one weekend each fall at Theatre West.

Jeanine Anderson was for many years an official hostess of the Magic Castle. She is also an actor, playwright, children's magician, and longtime member of Theatre West.

This year, they return to host and produce three amazing performances as they are joined onstage by their magical friends from Hollywood's Magic Castle, Vegas, cruise ships and television. This array of great talents from the world of magic is the twenty-first annual presentation of this popular show. (The show returns after a hiatus during the pandemic.) The line-up of magicians will vary at each performance, so one could attend all three dates and see three different programs.

Nowhere else will you be able to see an array of talented magical performers of this caliber at such an affordable price.

Proceeds from this event will support the ongoing artistic and educational activities and programs of Theatre West, a 501c3 non-profit organization.

As this is a one-weekend-only engagement, no complimentary admissions will be available.

Prospective attendees are advised to order tickets in advance, as previous performances of Millennium Magic have sold out.
