The RCI Digital Series Presents: KAJTUS THE WIZARD

The next premiere of The RCI Digital Stage, "Kajtus the Wizard", is the first show of a miniseries devoted to children and young audiences, which is run in partnership with The ”Luceafărul” Theater for Children and Youth of Iași. Directed by Konrad Dworakowski and based on a novel which was considered a Polish Harry Potter, this is a story about growing up and learning that one’s true power to change the world and make it a better place lies not in some magical skills acquired through wizardry but in one’s very own dreams, imagination and perseverance. A vivacious, modern production staged with exquisite craft, coming from one of Romania’s best youth theaters and equally appealing to audiences young and old.

The show will be available ONE TIME ONLY, as live streaming, on our Facebook page on Saturday, October 31 at 11 a.m. New York & Toronto time / 8 a.m. Los Angeles & Vancouver time. (Please follow the link to watch.)
