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

C.S. Lewis’ story focuses on how the arrival of 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: Stepping into the Wardrobe leading to a totally new world: Narnia.  The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is 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.
