SPT Youth Program presents The Magical Thinkers, featuring actors in grades 2–5.
A brand new alternate-reality comedy adventure! Riverdale High School has a big problem: the students. These strong-minded kids love science, and they’ve driven the Principal crazy by suggesting that the earth revolves around the sun, that species evolve, and that pollution is bad for you! When the newest principal arrives, his mission is to make sure these freethinkers keep their crazy ideas to themselves. But one whiz kid named Riff has a plan — she’s researched climate change and wants to deliver her groundbreaking results to a trio of science heroes when they arrive for a lecture tour. Enter: Charles Darwin, Galileo Galilei and naturalist Rachel Carson. Will Riff and her friends succeed, or will magical thinking prevail forever?
