"The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe"

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, one of the most popular stories for young readers of the past century, came to the BCPA stage on Sunday, October 26 in a high-energy musical staging that delighted a large family audience.

As a spectator, it was exciting to see how the gang from Theatreworks captured C.S. Lewis story in a quick hour, with a cast of five bustling around the stage, taking on multiple roles in a creative production that was a hit for all the children there.

Presented thanks to sponsorship from Tim and Vicki Tilton (who acknowledged their own family's affection for the story was a major reason for their sponsorship) and the Monroe Center, the show was preceded by an hour of free activities in the BCPA ballroom, including crafts and games provided by Big Brother & Big Sisters, and face painting by the Zoo Crew.

Were you there? What did you think?

(My family had fun .... and I think our box office staff looked fantastic!)
