The Theater Artists Studio is a community theater that produces high quality shows, and some of the members have been on Broadway. At this Sunday Matinee, we are going to see a production called THE TWIST OF THE MAGI. Inspired by O’ Henry’s classic tale, “Gift of the Magi,” this full stage production” takes place in a 1940’s radio studio, with a host of wacky characters, compromising situations, and questionable romances. This comical farce with a dash of music, is the perfect recipe for Holiday fun that will delight the entire family.
