The Newberry Opera House Guild presents A Little Magic for a Big Cause, a specially designed, family friendly performance featuring the whimsical talents of master illusionist David Rasmussen. Having shared his incredible sense of wonder from Broadway to Italy, Rasmussen approaches the impossible not as a barrier, but as a polite invitation to play. Armed with the playful confidence of someone who is ready to reboot reality to see what happens, his interactive mentalism coaxes unspoken thoughts and hidden connections right out into the open. In quick, shimmering moments on the historic stage, secrets peek around corners and beautiful patterns reveal themselves, leaving young minds and parents alike completely spellbound.

This abbreviated, high-energy version of the show is carefully tailored to keep children of all ages fully engaged, laughing, and questioning the impossible from start to finish. More than just an afternoon of astonishing illusions and lighthearted comedy, this special performance serves as a vital fundraising event hosted by the Newberry Opera House Guild. Every ticket purchased directly supports the historic venue’s educational initiatives, community outreach programs, and ongoing mission to keep the performing arts accessible to local families. It is the perfect opportunity to introduce young theatergoers to the magic of live performance while contributing to a wonderful, community-wide cause.
