The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

Beck Center Youth Theater Presents C.S. Lewis' Classic Story

 

Lakewood, OH-Travel to the magical land of Narnia with four English
school children in the Beck Center Youth Theater's production of The
Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe on the Mackey Main Stage, November 5 to

Adapted from the classic story by C.S. Lewis and dramatized by Joseph
Robinette, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is for audiences of all
ages. This heroic, enthralling tale of love, faith, courage, and giving
chronicles the life and death struggle for control of Narnia and the
grandeur of the triumph of good over evil. 

 

The show features a cast of 61 young actors, ranging in age from 7 to 18
years, who are all students from the Beck Center's Dance, Music, and
Theater Departments. 

 

"This production is a huge undertaking, and our students are rising to
the challenge," says Director Jonathan S. Kronenberger, Beck Center
associate director of Theater Education. "We are so excited to present
this classic, grand story onstage in such a simple manner. The play's
action will stir the audience's imagination which plays an important
part in the telling of this story."
