Based on the children’s book by Tomie dePaola, Strega Nona is the musical tale of a friendly magical witch who strives to cure the ills of her tiny Italian town. The baker has bunions (“As big as an onion”), his daughter wishes for witchery, and the local single ladies are always unlucky in love. When a local lug named Big Anthony fools with the magic pasta pot, and can’t figure out how to turn it off, pasta threatens to engulf the whole town – unless Strega Nona can save the day. With a fantastic cast and brilliant lyrics, this musical will transport your students to a magical place. Encourage your students to stretch their imagination by exploring the book, Strega Nona prior to your FAC visit.
