Great Audience Participation!
Children get right into the action as Arthur becomes a fish,
a bird and finally the rightful King of England. Kids help Arthur defeat the dragon and pull the sword from the stone.  In the course of his studies
Arthur learns the meaning of "real magic" and finds himself
worthy of his awesome duty.


Lots of Lively Comedy and Drama!

"Sword in the Stone was a huge hit both here at Theatre
Orangeville and at the Sudbury Theatre Centre.  Two presenters were
blown away by the show and want "whatever" we're doing next year!"
David Nairn, Artistic Director, Theatre Orangeville, ON Canada

ArtReach, hundreds of performances in schools and theatres all across the country!  Professional School Tour, for young audiences.

Producers, Sword in the Stone is lots of fun and has great comic moments but packs a dramatic wallop you don't expect in a children's play. Fast-paced and lively, the production is enhanced by an excellent musical CD soundtrack and instructions for easy set and costumes. Written especially for touring to schools, everything for a great looking production fits in your touring van.  This is truly one of the top playscripts on these pages and offers great opportunities for creative staging and nice dramatic scenes your actors will love performing!

"Schultz Miller's work is strikingly different from the movie... the biggest difference can be seen in Merlin. Instead of Disney's testy, bungling eccentric, Miller's Merlin is intense and cloaked in mystery. Miller's dialogue contains some beautiful and funny passages."
Corinne Flocken, The Los Angeles Times
