Scene from Eddie & Vinnie at Magik Theatre San Antonio
Eddie & Vinnie is a heartwarming tale of a young boy who desperately wants to raise his grades to avoid attending summer school. The problem is that unless Eddie, who deals with dyslexia, gets his grades up, his dreams of fun in the sun may be heading for a wipeout.
With the help of his pet gecko, Vinnie, and the overly-helpful new girl in class, will Eddie’s final class presentation come together and allow him to avoid summer class?

Eddie & Vinnie at Magik Theatre in San Antonio – More Details
This groundbreaking production is set for its world premiere at Magik Theatre from October 15–28 during National Dyslexia Awareness Month. It was commissioned by Magik Theatre in partnership with Celebrate Dyslexia founder and executive director Jasmin Dean and written by playwright Jenny Millinger, associate artistic director at Childsplay Arizona.
The funding for Eddie & Vinnie comes from grants from the Texas Cultural Trust, Texas Commission on the Arts, the Betty Stieren Kelso Foundation, and the H-E-B Read 3 program. Additionally, this performance is the second time in Magik Theatre’s 27-year history that has won grant financing from the esteemed National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
This stage production aims to help lessen stigma, and foster awareness, understanding, and acceptance for not only the children diagnosed with this neurobiological difference but also for their families, teachers, coaches, and the community at large, by giving a unique glimpse into the dyslexic brain. It is a component of Magik’s brand-new “Meaningful Messaging” programming, which seeks to raise awareness of the societal problems that today’s youth and their families face.
