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.
