"The Magic Castle Still Stands" follows the journey of Harvey by train to New York City.

She commented, "I was desperately terrified of flying, and took a train ride to visit my friend in Maryland. I was heavily influenced by 90s anime, 1800s literature, the inconveniences of Amtrak, and the kind of fear that can only be brought on when you have no idea what is happening next." Directed by Denver-based director Emily Kucala and starring the LA-based actor Amelia Bryant, "The Magic Castle Still Stands" promises to take audiences on a profound journey of self-discovery and reflection, and with stage management by Andy Renae, this production boasts a stellar creative team dedicated to bringing Vanessa's vision to life. Set against the backdrop of a train journey from Savannah, GA to New York City, "The Magic Castle Still Stands" unfolds as a compelling coming-of-age narrative. Audiences will follow the protagonist, Harvey, whose ordinary journey takes an unexpected turn when a collision between the train and a car connects her fate to her fellow passengers and her own past. As the story unfolds, the boundaries between reality and imagination blur, inviting audiences to delve into the surreal and introspective realm of Harvey's experience. Through her journey, Harvey grapples with the complexities of youth, maturity, and the profound implications of self-discovery. "The Magic Castle Still Stands" offers a poignant examination of the sacrifices one must make in order to truly understand oneself and move forward in life. The show will premier in the Scarlet Venue, which is located in the Orlando Family Stage at 1001 E Princeton St, Orlando. Tickets cost $11, with the show running 60 minutes. 13+.
