What Is Magic Window? The Magic Window is more interactive than a Wii™ or PlayStation 3™, offers culture and arts better than an episode of Yuh-Gi-Oh™ or Pokémon™, and gives families a morning of laughter and entertainment. And if you're not careful...you just might learn something!
Through music, drama, and creative arts, Magic Window brings the world and its diversity closer to children and adults. The performances are free and open to the public. Viewers are encouraged to bring their own picnic dinners, blankets and lawn chairs. The performances are inviting to children of ALL ages!
Inclement weather – All performances are conducted rain or shine. If necessary, performances will be moved to the atrium of the James J. McCoart Administration Building and will be conducted at the scheduled time of 4pm.
