The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

By CS Lewis • Directed by Karen Dieruf
APPROPRIATE AGE RANGE: 10 - up | APPROXIMATE RUNTIME: 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

“Life leads us into the unknown to discover the wonderful truth of who we are.”

C.S. Lewis’ story focuses on how a bad event – leaving one’s home – and – family for safety from the war – Can lead to a good event; the adage of when one door closes another door opens elsewhere –

The door to Wardrobe opens into the fantasy world of Narnia – leading us into the unknown to discover the wonderful truth of who we are.

A full-length dramatic stage production, not a musical, using a script inspired by the Joseph Robinette adaptation from C. S. Lewis’ beloved book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and the Narnia series.
