'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' opens Dec. 4 Cottage Theatre concludes its 2015 season with a family- friendly production of the clas- sic “Narnia” tale by C.S. Lewis, “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.” The theater will present a stage adaptation by playwright Joseph Robinette. The original Lewis book, the second and most famous in the seven-volume “Narnia” series, has been in continuous publica- tion since 1956, and translated into more than 40 languages. Cottage Theatre’s production opens a three-weekend run start- ing on Friday, Dec. 4. This magical dramatization of the C.S. Lewis classic faithfully recreates the adventures of four children who wander, quite by accident, from an old wardrobe into the exciting and unusual land of Narnia. Filled with action, poignancy and intrigue, the adventure un- folds as the evil White Witch tries to keep Narnia in an end- less icy winter and to end the reign of Aslan, the Lion. Amidst battles and struggles, Edmund, Peter, Susan, and Lucy discover the truth of the “proph- esy” that only they can fulfi ll. This story of love, faith, cour- age and redemption, with its tri- umph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life. Cottage Theatre’s production of “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” is directed by Kory Weimer. Set design is by Janet Whitlow, lighting design by Amanda Ferguson and costume design by Marjorie Steen and Chris Carter. The production features Janet Whitlow as the White Witch, Randall Brous as Aslan the lion, Jacksen Lund as Edmund, John Parker as Peter, Megan Sch- neider as Susan and Kenady Conforth as Lucy. They are supported by a large cast that includes creatures of all sorts, such as wolves, fox- es, beavers, falcons, spectors, a centaur and a unicorn.
