Press release
The Bucyrus Little Theatre is pleased to present ‘Narnia’, based on C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Book by Jules Tasca. Lyrics by Ted Drachman. Music by Thomas Tierney.
The first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical presentation of this unique, enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil, demonic and transcendent. The principal inhabitants, however, are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Aslan, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land (so that his very existence is doubted by some), he returns when the need for him is greatest. And entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are some children—plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help Narnia and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness and wisdom that will help them grow. Narnia wants to sing, and from the excitement of the opening song, “Aslan’s on the Move,” to the joy of “Narnia (You Can’t Imagine),” your spirits will soar with all those in Narnia.
Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company Of Woodstock, Illinois, Narnia is directed by Candy Boyd with assistance from Ryan Shealy. ‘Narnia’ will take the BLT stage at the following times:
- Thursday, December 1 at 7:30 p.m.
- Friday, December 2 at 7:30 p.m.

- Friday, December 9 at 7:30 p.m.
