THE MAGIC GLASSES and its stellar cast arrives on June 22nd!   The year is 1913, but like a contemporary phone-addicted teenager, Jaymoney Shanahan spends his days up in the loft staring into his magic glasses, hearing strange music and seeing incredible visions.   His distraught parents finally call in the fabled Morgan Quille, hoping he can cure this incurable of his wicked ways.
