ABOUT Eddie and Vinnie

By Jenny Millinger

Commissioned by and World Premiere presented at Magik Theatre, San Antonio, TX

Anthony Runfola, Artistic Director
Frank Villani, Chief Executive Officer

In partnership with Celebrate Dyslexia

Eddie has dyslexia and struggles with schoolwork, and finds out he can’t play on the basketball team unless he gets his grades up.

With the help of his pet gecko, Vinnie, and the overly-helpful new girl in class, will Eddie’s final class presentation come together, or will his basketball dreams be dashed forever?

A Magik Theatre world premiere!

FAQs

Can I book a show for something other than a school?

Our performances also make great entertainment at special events.

Do we need to have a stage?

Our performances require a 25′ x 25′ stage/space to allow a seamless experience for sets and actors!

Indoor or outdoor? 

Magik Theatre requires reservations to be indoors on a hard-level surface. Due to large sets and equipment, we kindly request for the location of the performance to be only on the first floor of the building.

Please note that a changing area/space must be provided for the actors.

Do you require any equipment?

We will bring all of our own equipment with easy access to a standard electrical outlet.
