Everybody rushed to the silver screen to see the adaptation
of the Harry Potter books and the adaptation of 300 the graphic novel;
now rush to Mesa Arts Center to see all seven Harry Potter books in 70
hilarious minutes, and Intergalactic Nemesis, a graphic novel adapted to a
theatrical experience. From book to screen, screen to stage, book to stage and
so on, these adaptations don’t miss a beat!
Potted Potter
Potted Potter is the Hogwarts experience you have been
waiting for. BBC’s own Dan Clarkson and Jeff Turner open The Chamber of
Secrets on Hogwarts in a whole new way. If you haven’t read or seen any of
the Harry Potter books – which I hope you have – don’t worry; with the help of
a wonder cast, you’ll watch as they tackle all seven books and all 362
characters in 70 minutes. Now that’s magic! This live production
seems as much fun as it will be magical. “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named” would want
to see this magic played out onstage. Click here for more information and toget your tickets. See it Feb. 18 – 22.
The Intergalactic Nemesis
Graphic novels are a popular ticket sale and are flying off
the shelves at your local comic book store. Intergalactic Nemesis is offering
you a whole new way to experience a graphic novel. The show will be taking you
back in time; with this experience you have a Foley artist doing live sound
effects and live keyboardist. This harkens back to the days of early cinema! As
a fan of cinema and graphic novels, I’m excited to see a theatrical experience
like this. The live music and sound effects will make those graphic novel
drawings pop out at you and pull you into the story. Click here for moreinformation and to get your tickets. See it Mar. 14-15.
See you there!
