Based on Mary Pope Osborne’s beloved Magic Tree House book series, The Knight at Dawn KIDS follows curious siblings Jack and Annie as they journey back to medieval times. When the magic tree house transports them into the pages of a book about knights and castles, they find themselves face-to-face with royal banquets, secret passages, and a mysterious Black Knight.
Together, Jack and Annie must use their courage, imagination, and quick thinking to solve riddles of chivalry and find their way home. Filled with heart, humor, and a dash of magic, this enchanting musical reminds us that bravery and kindness are the true marks of a hero.
