We’ve been receiving several announcements lately about upcoming theatre productions of C.S. Lewis’ works, so we decided to post some theatre news.

If you happen to be around Lewis’ hometown this next week, the Hope Players amateur drama group will be hosting “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” at the ADC Theatre in Cambridge from December 17^th-20^th.  For free online booking please see: www.adctheatre.com.

Saratoga Abundant Life Church in Saratoga Springs, New York, is hosting a one-man show entitled “A Christmas with C.S. Lewis,” with its writer David Payne as the star. A huge C.S. Lewis fan, Payne has played Lewis in “Shadowlands” at Nashville’s Tennessee Performing Arts Center, and he has also toured the nation as both a director and an actor in “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” numerous times. In his original play, “Payne brings Lewis’ humor to life and further proves that Lewis was one of England’s most famous public speakers.” The event is free, and happening only once, this Saturday, December 12^th.

Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts (PCPA) in Santa Maria, CA is hosting “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe,” from now until December 23^rd. Based on the book by Lewis, the PCPA’s production of this beloved classic includes many seasoned actors, as well as a brilliant set “designed to morph into many scenes, and features a trap door, a telescoping, rising lantern, and, of course, the magical portal through the wardrobe.” The Santa Ynez Valley News describes it as is an amazing and spectacular theater experience that should not be missed.” For more information and ticketing info, please see: http://pcpa.org/Default.asp?Page=330.
