Executive Artistic Director’s Note

Our audiences are no doubt familiar with the great works of one of the most celebrated theologians and apologists of our time, C.S. Lewis.  The Chronicles of Narnia, certainly his crowning narrative achievement, have sold millions of copies and influenced an entire generation of believers and non-believers alike.  This musical adaptation will be chock-a-block full of spectacular production value, including live puppetry, that will be sure to put a smile on the face of the whole family this Christmas season.  

Theatre is an art form that from its inception has had the proven power to move and to stir the human spirit. This can have a wide variety of manifestations. We are often stirred up, and that kind of event can have us needing to talk to someone about it. We recommend that you find a licensed mental healthcare professional to help you work through difficult feelings that may have been stirred up by a play. You should always work with someone that you have a great connection with. If you need help starting that process, we recommend our partners at Ellie Mental Health as a starting place.

You might also be stirred to do something about how a particular play made you feel. Below we have provided a quick link to be able to donate to us here at the A. D. Players at the George Theatre. As a 501(c)3, we rely heavily on donations to continue the work that we do. If, however, you want to do something meaningful about some of the issues addressed by our shows, we are also including links to organizations that do meaningful work in the areas addressed by the content of our show. These are not exhaustive options, but merely starting places to help you on your journey to continue to effect change in your world.
