Live actors and marionettes perform this endearing and exciting classic by C.S. Lewis. In World War II era England, three children discover an old wardrobe in an ancient house, where they have been sent for safety during air raids. They enter the wardrobe and find themselves on a charming adventure to Narnia, an enchanted land that the White Witch has put under a spell. According to an old prophecy, only children can break the spell, which they set out to do with some help from Mr. & Mrs. Beaver and Aslan the Lion. Students will enjoy this adventurous tale where good triumphs over evil in this popular children’s classic.

Clifford Wright-Sunflower
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Grades: 1-6
Clifford Wright-Sunflower is a master beekeeper and environmentalist. Aided by an eager volunteer from the audience dressed in beekeeping equipment, Clifford demonstrates the precision of a beekeeper working a beehive. He transforms the entire audience into a working hive. With bodies busily buzzing about in the functional dance of the beehive, children learn first-hand about the delicate and complex balance of the bee colony. After the honeybee dance, children are divided into smaller groups to visit with an observation hive of bees, to make a beeswax candle and, most importantly, to share bee fears, experiences and questions.
