During the day, A Likely Story may look like any other used bookstore. But at night, it’s a place where magic happens. That’s when the characters inside the books come alive.
Six of those characters — Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi, and Tom Sawyer — long to help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. But they’re not allowed to leave the building or be seen by human eyes. So when a pair of smugglers comes looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books, the characters are torn. Should they warn Margie and risk disappearing forever? Or can they find a way to defeat the crooks without being seen?
Featuring additional appearances by such beloved literary characters as the Queen of Hearts, Long John Silver, and Doctor Dolittle, this charming comedy celebrates the joy of reading in a fresh, fun-filled way.

This was the most amazing show! My whole school went nuts over it! I even had kids who read the actual books to get to know their characters better. Andi Helm, St. Louise de Marillac School, Pittsburgh, PA
Enchanted Bookshop was absolutely delightful! We had so many compliments on the script. The audience responded throughout the show with laughter and joy! Ryan Radebaugh, Hale Center Theater, Orem, UT
I love this play because it inspires people to read more. Ruey Sandusky, Red Mask Players, Danville, IL
