Talespinner Children’s Theatre Presents The Lion , the Witch, and the
Wardrobe

Talespinner Children’s Theatre (TCT) presents a unique two-actor adaptation
of C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, dramatized by Le
Clanché du Rand. This imaginative production brings the epic world of
Narnia to life through inventive storytelling, movement, and performance,
highlighting themes of courage, kindness, and the triumph of good over
evil. Performances run March 14–22, 2026, at TCT’s immersive theatre space
at 78th Street Studios (1305 W. 80th St., Suite 214, Cleveland).

“This condensed retelling invites audiences to step into Narnia through the
memories of Peter and Lucy, blending narration with action in a way that
feels both playful and magical,” says Director A’Rhyan Samford. “As the
siblings journey together, the story reminds us of the power of curiosity,
connection, and shared storytelling.”

The production stars Jasmine Nichelle and John Williams, who portray
multiple beloved characters throughout the story. Jasmine Nichelle, is a
recent BFA Acting graduate of Ithaca College. Williams, holds an MFA in
Shakespeare and Performance from Mary Baldwin University and has appeared
in regional productions across the country. Both are Actor-Teacher with
Great Lakes Theater, and making their TCT debuts.
