    Sandcastle Beach IV
    June 07, 2008 - August 05, 2008
    Where: St. Louis

    The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum, is building up tons of sand and excitement for the most “sandsational” exhibit ever constructed at The Magic House. This summer you won’t have to go any farther than The Magic House’s own backyard to experience a day at the beach. We are “shore” the entire family will dig the return of Sandcastle Beach, at The Magic House June 7 – August 5, 2007.

    With the help of ten truckloads of sand, The Magic House’s backyard is being transformed once again into a beachfront park, complete with tons of sand, hidden seashells, ocean misters, lifeguard stands and beach umbrellas.

    At Sandcastle Beach, you can take a stroll along the boardwalk; search for some seashells; feel the spray of the ocean on your face; and, build along-side a world-champion sand sculptor as he sculpts a gigantic 75-ton sandcastle along our shores! As a sand-artist-in-residence, June 7th through June 24th, our sand artist will teach children how to sculpt their own castles like a professional!

  • The Amazing Castle
    The Amazing Castle
    June 02, 2008 - September 03, 2008
    Where: St. Louis

    A BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum brings life to more extraordinary hands-on adventures with the opening of The Amazing Castle. Visitors to the exhibit are transported to a magical place and time – inside the castle’s stone walls lays a happy and peaceful little community where every citizen has a special job to do.

    While inside The Amazing Castle, children can try on costumes and engage in role-play, by becoming lords and ladies, castle villagers, or even “HiJinx the Jester.” After picking vegetables in the garden, friends and family can take a seat at the royal table while children prepare a meal using wooden bowls, cooking utensils and a fireplace complete with a glowing fire, a spit and a cauldron. Within the Tailor Shop, children and adults can try their hand at repairing and making clothing for all the castle citizens then move on to the Carpenter’s Shop where they can grab a work apron and build a simple table or chair using mortise and tenon construction, and finally, inside the Blacksmith Shop children can pretend to repair iron tools using a stone forge with “glowing” coals, a water bucket, and Synge’s anvil.

    Blithe Spirit
    July 02, 2008 - July 30, 2008
    Where: Maples Repertory Theatre, Macon, MO

    July 2- 30 Charles Condomine, a widower, invites an eccentric medium to give a séance as research for a novel he’s writing. No one at the party believed Madame Arcati’s séance could actually work – but when Charles’ first wife, selfish and spoiled Elvira, appears from “the other side” he has to scramble to explain the situation to his current wife, Ruth. Language and laughter take center stage in Noel Coward’s “improbable farce.”

    Sandcastle Beach IV
    June 07, 2008 - August 05, 2008
    Where: St. Louis

    The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum, is building up tons of sand and excitement for the most “sandsational” exhibit ever constructed at The Magic House. This summer you won’t have to go any farther than The Magic House’s own backyard to experience a day at the beach. We are “shore” the entire family will dig the return of Sandcastle Beach, at The Magic House June 7 – August 5, 2007.

    With the help of ten truckloads of sand, The Magic House’s backyard is being transformed once again into a beachfront park, complete with tons of sand, hidden seashells, ocean misters, lifeguard stands and beach umbrellas.

    At Sandcastle Beach, you can take a stroll along the boardwalk; search for some seashells; feel the spray of the ocean on your face; and, build along-side a world-champion sand sculptor as he sculpts a gigantic 75-ton sandcastle along our shores! As a sand-artist-in-residence, June 7th through June 24th, our sand artist will teach children how to sculpt their own castles like a professional!

    A BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum brings life to more extraordinary hands-on adventures with the opening of The Amazing Castle. Visitors to the exhibit are transported to a magical place and time – inside the castle’s stone walls lays a happy and peaceful little community where every citizen has a special job to do.

    While inside The Amazing Castle, children can try on costumes and engage in role-play, by becoming lords and ladies, castle villagers, or even “HiJinx the Jester.” After picking vegetables in the garden, friends and family can take a seat at the royal table while children prepare a meal using wooden bowls, cooking utensils and a fireplace complete with a glowing fire, a spit and a cauldron. Within the Tailor Shop, children and adults can try their hand at repairing and making clothing for all the castle citizens then move on to the Carpenter’s Shop where they can grab a work apron and build a simple table or chair using mortise and tenon construction, and finally, inside the Blacksmith Shop children can pretend to repair iron tools using a stone forge with “glowing” coals, a water bucket, and Synge’s anvil.

    July 2- 30 Charles Condomine, a widower, invites an eccentric medium to give a séance as research for a novel he’s writing. No one at the party believed Madame Arcati’s séance could actually work – but when Charles’ first wife, selfish and spoiled Elvira, appears from “the other side” he has to scramble to explain the situation to his current wife, Ruth.

  • Sandcastle Beach IV
    Sandcastle Beach IV
    June 07, 2008 - August 05, 2008
    Where: St. Louis

    The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum, is building up tons of sand and excitement for the most “sandsational” exhibit ever constructed at The Magic House. This summer you won’t have to go any farther than The Magic House’s own backyard to experience a day at the beach. We are “shore” the entire family will dig the return of Sandcastle Beach, at The Magic House June 7 – August 5, 2007.

    With the help of ten truckloads of sand, The Magic House’s backyard is being transformed once again into a beachfront park, complete with tons of sand, hidden seashells, ocean misters, lifeguard stands and beach umbrellas.

    At Sandcastle Beach, you can take a stroll along the boardwalk; search for some seashells; feel the spray of the ocean on your face; and, build along-side a world-champion sand sculptor as he sculpts a gigantic 75-ton sandcastle along our shores! As a sand-artist-in-residence, June 7th through June 24th, our sand artist will teach children how to sculpt their own castles like a professional!

    A BRIEF DESCRIPTION: The Magic House, St. Louis Children’s Museum brings life to more extraordinary hands-on adventures with the opening of The Amazing Castle. Visitors to the exhibit are transported to a magical place and time – inside the castle’s stone walls lays a happy and peaceful little community where every citizen has a special job to do.

    While inside The Amazing Castle, children can try on costumes and engage in role-play, by becoming lords and ladies, castle villagers, or even “HiJinx the Jester.” After picking vegetables in the garden, friends and family can take a seat at the royal table while children prepare a meal using wooden bowls, cooking utensils and a fireplace complete with a glowing fire, a spit and a cauldron. Within the Tailor Shop, children and adults can try their hand at repairing and making clothing for all the castle citizens then move on to the Carpenter’s Shop where they can grab a work apron and build a simple table or chair using mortise and tenon construction, and finally, inside the Blacksmith Shop children can pretend to repair iron tools using a stone forge with “glowing” coals, a water bucket, and Synge’s anvil.
