Description

Amy Anderson discovers her grandfather’s magic trunk in the attic. When she falls asleep her dreams take her on an unforgettable adventure with Coco, a mute clown, into the circus world. She finds and rescues an array of circus performers suspended in time. They were banished by the curse of Ivan the Madman, the evil nemesis of her grandfather. Amy takes the performers back into the safe haven of her attic so they may again perform the Greatest Show on Earth. With lots of physicality including mime, clowning and simple acrobatics, Amy’s Attic offers good comedic roles for all the characters. It is an excellent choice for elementary and middle schools, theatre camps and community theatres. Simple set. Circus or contemporary costumes. Approximate running time: 80 minutes.
