The Academy of Children’s Theatre is performing a magical production of “The Neverending Story” for two weekends in March, bringing to life the fantasy tale of the young boy Bastian and his fictional fantasy world of adventures and adversaries. 

The show performs on March 22 and 29 at 7 p.m.  Matinee performances are scheduled at 3 p.m. on March 23, 24, 30, and 31.
