Players announces that The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe will open December 2 and run through December 23, 2014 on their Grace Theater stage, as the first show of the company's 2014-2015 Children's Theater season.

Lewis' classic, two actors give a captivating, multi-character performance that's sure to delight children and adults alike.

It's an honor and a delight to be bringing this story to the stage with this talented, passionate cast." -Will Ledesma, Director
