SCUGOG: This summer, Theatre on the Ridge brings a unique adaptation of C. S. Lewis’ beloved children’s classic, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, to life.

With only a cast of two, and minimal set, props and costumes, the story of this beloved children’s classic is told through clever staging and engages the imaginations of audiences of all ages. A heroic tale of love, faith, courage, giving, and the triumph of good over evil, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is a perfect production to introduce young audiences to the joy of theatre.

Directed by Theatre on the Ridge artistic director Carey Nicholson, the cast of Frances Loiselle and Michael Williamson are familiar with creating wonder on stage. Audiences will remember them as Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, from the Festival 2018 season. This production has been sponsored by Vos’ Independent Grocer in Port Perry.

Performances of The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by Theatre on the Ridge will be outdoors at Scugog Shores Museum and include a self-guided tour.

There will be two showings per day, over the July 31st/August 1st long weekend, at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. The location of the show is Scugog Shores Museum Village, at 16210 Island Road, Port Perry. Tickets cost $15 for adults, $10 for children and $35 for a family (two adults and two children). HST is on top of the ticket price. Tickets must be purchased in advance, from scugog.ca/museum or by emailing museum@scugog.ca.
