The wardrobe sure has gotten petite since it's gigantic 2005 film adaptation. Inventively set to a smaller scale, and a shorter running time for a younger audience, Off Broadway Family Theatre's production of 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' gives a fresh new look at the classic novel.

In this inventive and highly theatrical adaptation, which has been performed across the country, two actors play eight characters including animals. Through the magic of theatre, we travel to Narnia where the White Witch's spell makes it eternally winter but never Christmas. But everything changes when four siblings venture through an old wardrobe and enter this land of talking animals, charming fauns, giants and dwarves. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Aslan the Great Lion, the children battle the forces of evil and discover that Love is the deepest magic of all.

Off-Broadway Family Theatre will present its inaugural production of C.S. Lewis' well-loved tale 'THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE' beginning Saturday, October 22nd at 11 AM at St. Luke's Theatre, 308 West 46th Street (west of 8th Avenue), NYC.
