On Stage This Weekend: "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"


    Taking the stage this weekend is the stage version of the classic story by C.S. Lewis, made famous in recent years by the Narnia series of movies.

   Of course, I'm talking about The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!

   The play takes the stage this weekend at the Huntington City Hall auditorium, and runs Friday and Saturday, Dec. 6, 7, 13 and 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 8 and 15 at 2 p.m.

   It's being staged by First Stage Theatre Company. A small army of young actors, ranging in age from high school to elementary school, bring the tale to life!

   The story centers around four young people who discover a magical door inside a mysterious wardrobe (which is a piece of furniture that serves as a closet). They pass into the world of Narnia, where magic exists and an evil force is trying to keep the land in a constant state of winter.

   Can the children stop the plans of the beautiful but deadly White Witch, and how does the wise lion known as Aslan fit into the picture?

   It's a terrific, moving tale, and you can see it live on stage over the next two weekends.

   Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for children and senior citizens.

   It's a classic tale of good versus evil, and yes, it does have a connection to Christmas! Don't miss it!
