The Neverending Story


Super Excited to be Directing this iconic story @ Kalabash School of Music and the Arts!

We are thrilled to announce our next handmade musical theatre production of The Neverending Story, adapted for the stage and inspired by the iconic 1984 film by Wolfgang Peterson. A magical journey about the power of a young boy's imagination to save a dying fantasy land, The NeverEnding Story remains a much-loved kids adventure.

THE NEVER ENDING STORY centers on young Bastian Bux, who escapes his troubled life in a dusty old bookstore. The store owner tells him not to look at the book The NeverEnding Story, but Bastian does anyway. He becomes engrossed in the story, in which boy warrior Atreyu seeks to save the land of Fantasia from becoming destroyed by a mythical force known as the Nothing. Atreyu also is charged with finding a cure for a dying girl known as the Childlike Empress. On his adventure, he meets a bumbling elderly scientist, a flying dragon, and a swamp monster, among other characters. After a near-deadly clash with one of the Nothing's servants, a wolf-like creature who informs Atreyu that the loss of hope is the worst offense of all, the warrior fears all of Fantasia to be destroyed. In the end, a young girl that literally draws Bastian into the book, calling for a child's imagination to save the empire from destruction.

We've decided to put our own special spin on this iconic film and adapt if to the stage specifically for our young artists. This will be a fantasy adventure like no other!
