Manitou Jr. Xplor Theatre Troupe presents

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

Adapted from the C.S. Lewis Classic by Joseph Robinette

"This dramatization of C.S. Lewis' classic faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the Great Lion, His struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. The intense action features chases, duals, and escapes as the Witch is determined to keep Narnia in her control and end the reign of Aslan. All the memorable episodes are represented in this exciting dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the Witch, the slaying of the evil wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan's resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowning of the four new rulers of Narnia, and more."

This spring's dramatization is then made complete not only with a host of colorful characters, but also with the inclusion of the Manitou DanceWorks students as they join the team to create a truly magical and creative telling of this family favourite.
