CHESTER and MIDLOTHIAN, Va. – The curtain is about to rise on The Lynn Theatre’s production of The Phantom Tollbooth. In this family-friendly show, the perpetually bored Milo is transported to the Land of Wisdom and is thrust into adventure rescuing the Princesses Rhyme and Reason and bringing peace between two divided kings. Knee-deep in danger, language and math along the way, Milo learns everything has a purpose.
