Returning to Your Magic Tree House
AMERICAN THEATRE: What is your first artistic memory? We at American Theatre love to ask folks what moment in their youth generated that first spark, what title infected them with the theatre bug. When it comes to the theatre, I recall dancing in the aisles during habitual outings to theatre for young audiences in Rio and, as a toddler, proclaiming I’d make theatre for a living. When I came to the U.S., my love for language and the written word blossomed with The Magic Tree House series and Beatrix Potter books.

I really loved the magic tree house books as a kid. I remember the first time I read them, I was probably in kindergarten, and had just beginning to be able to read chapter books of that nature. My neighbors who were a few years older than me brought a few things they had outgrown over to our house and included the first few books of the magic tree house series. Immediately I was obsessed with them, and would spend hours reading, even though I wasn’t the best at reading yet I still loved doing it. I think that having magic tree house on stage like this could be just as magical, and inspire more kids to like performance, and to like reading. The other thing that is great about magic tree house is that it has elements of teaching history in its fantastical stories. I love the adaptability of these productions and I would love to get to see one.
