HEBRON – The Hebron Academy Middle School Drama Group recently presented “The Phantom Tollbooth,” which is based on the children’s book written by Norton Juster and the screenplay written by Susan Nanus. The play was directed by Pat Phillips of Auburn, assisted by Carolyn Fensore of New Gloucester.

Fourteen middle schoolers played several different parts in the clever play about a child named Milo (Annie Bachmann of Auburn) who is always bored. Milo is transported to the Kingdom of Wisdom and has to decide between two countries called Dictionopolis and Digitopolis.

On the journey, Milo has wonderful adventures, then returns home to discover that he can have his own adventures with his own imagination. The witty play is full of word play, such as when Milo gets lost in the Doldrums, and the character named “Tock,” who is a watchdog that carries around a clock (Matt Fensore of New Gloucester).
