About The Chronicles of Narnia:

We are offering two productions this season, based on C.S. Lewis timeless adventure, The Chronicles of Narnia, considered one of the greatest masterpieces of fantasy literature. This remarkably imaginative adaptation created by The Company Theatre's professional touring program for young audiences, follows characters of Peter & Lucy, as they recount their travels through a magical wardrobe, to the land of Narnia...twice! First they join with the great Lion Aslan to defeat the evil White Witch! The second story recounts their return to Narnia to aid Prince Caspian, who is denied his rightful throne. He gathers an army in a desperate attempt to rid his land of a false king. But in the end, it is a battle of honor between two men alone that will decide the fate of an entire world. These epic stories are filled with themes of friendship, courage and the eternal struggle of good vs. evil.
