August 9 | 4:00 pm - 6:00 pm

The Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center will present a free family program, Wizard Academy. The bumbling Professor Hackensneeze (David Engel) makes a visit from the Realm of Mysteries to teach children 4 to 12 the secrets of their innermost powers. Join this loony professor of Wizardry as he leads children on a zany day-in-the-life of a Wizard in Training (W.I.T). During Wizard Academy!, children will have their brain, eyes and reflexes tested with fun challenges and illusions that stir up the primal forces of their imaginations with instruction on potions, wand etiquette, and levitation. Hallmarks of this riotous family-friendly show are madcap sound effects, slapstick antics, talking trolls and a visit from his furry sidekick Mortimer. Children encouraged to attend in costume. Ages 4 and up.
