The show, appropriate for children in Grades 2-7, will be repeated on Monday, Oct. 15, at 10 a.m. as part of the Quick Center's outreach program, Schooldays Series.

Staged by Theatreworks/USA, this enchanting musical is based on C. S. Lewis' adventure story about four children of war-torn England who accidentally enter the land of Narnia by climbing through a magic wardrobe. This strange place is ruled by an evil witch with an iron grasp and a heart of ice, thus making the winter last all year 'round. Although they seem unlikely saviors, the children are destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy by defeating the witch, returning the great Lion King Aslan to this throne, and bringing sunshine and peace to the realm.

Theatreworks/USA, founded in 1961, is America's foremost professional theater for young and family audiences.

In 1996, the company was recognized by New York's theater community with the prestigious Drama Desk and Lucille Lortel awards for "35 years of providing quality entertainment to children."
