The American Magic-Lantern Theater is the only professional traveling theater company in the country. We re-create Victorian “Magic-Lantern Shows” — a popular 1890s combination of projected color images, live drama, live music, hilarious comedy and boisterous audience participation. The shows were “the great grandfather of the cinema” — what the movies developed from 100 years ago. Our recreated traveling theater is authentic — using antique equipment, and the content, music, and dramatic style of the 1890s.
We’ve given over a thousand performances in 38 states and toured internationally to 6 different countries. To see a live show visit out site at:
