Arts Barn Stage Adventures: Magic Ben and the World of Wonder

Arts Barn Stage Adventures: Magic Ben and the World of Wonder is an interactive magic performance designed for young children and families. Magic Ben combines playful comedy, silly surprises, audience participation, and astonishing illusions, including objects vanishing from one child’s hand and reappearing elsewhere and a glowing energy ball floating through the air. Children are invited to help make the magic happen during this lively introduction to live performance.

After the show, children can visit the Arts Barn Gallery for a hands-on creative activity and make their own wands while exploring their imaginations. The event is part of Arts Barn Stage Adventures, a performing arts series for children ages 6 and under that features theatre, music, dance, puppetry, magic, and storytelling. Each program includes an opportunity to meet and engage with the performing artist, followed by an art activity connected to the performance.
