Description
In this prequel to C.S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, young Digory wants nothing more than to save his ailing mother. When Digory's eccentric, bumbling magician uncle tricks him and his neighbor Polly into a world between worlds, they accidentally awaken Jadis, an evil queen who sets her sights on their own home of London. During the performance, students will watch as Dallas Children’s Theater’s professional artists create an onstage world where realism and fantasy collide. Mythical kingdoms and deep magic await, and Narnia is born! Students can be a part of the magic, too, by playing their important role: attentive audience member.

Students Will
  • Experience a live theatrical production and observe the contributions of professional theater artists including actors, set and costume designers, director, stage manager, and the crew.
  • Participate as a member of the audience throughout the performance. Students will have ample opportunity to identify, apply, and evaluate appropriate audience behavior while in DCT’s Baker Theater.
  • Enjoy a classic story adapted for the stage that focuses on the theme of good versus evil.
