The production is about the used bookstore ‘A Likely Story’ where characters inside the books come alive at night. Famed characters such as Dorothy Gale, Robin Hood, Pollyanna, Sherlock Holmes, Heidi and Tom Sawyer help Margie, the scatterbrained owner, save her struggling store. The come-to-life characters cannot leave the building or be seen by human eyes. A pair of smugglers comes looking for a stolen necklace hidden inside one of the books putting the characters in a dilemma.

The show features additional appearances that include Queen of Hearts, Long John Silver and Doctor Dolittle.

Tickets are $15 and can be purchased by calling (705) 745-4211 or visiting Peterborough Theatre Guild’s website.
