THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE Runs Dec. 5-14

THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
Kincaid Regional Theatre
Dec. 5-14
Katherine Ballinger Durr Center for the Arts [Falmouth, Ky.]

This dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic work faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. The intense action features chases, duels and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan. All the memorable episodes from the story are represented in this exciting dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the witch, the slaying of the evil wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan’s resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowing of the four new rulers of Narnia, and more. The supporting characters are also here: the unicorn, the centaur and other forest animals, along with Father Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and Tumnus the Faun. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

An audience favorite and quickly sold-out every year, Up-Close seats the audience in the round for a fourth-wall-breaking experience. It’s personal, powerful, and unlike any other show in the season. Up-Close ’25 features world premieres by two choreographers: Crystal Michelle, a Princess Grace Award Honoraria recipient whose Breath, Flesh, and Bone / A Manual for Lovers at the end of the world is an urgent excavation of the self, and Hannah Williamson, a resident company member whose Look Thrice continues her body of work of mysterious and thrilling psychological journeys.

ELF, the Musical Runs Dec. 4-7

ELF, the Musical
Rise Up Performing Arts
Dec. 4-7
Miami University Hamilton Parrish Auditorium

Directed by Matt Neal

Based on the beloved holiday film, this hilarious fish-out-of-water comedy follows Buddy the Elf in his quest to find his true identity. Buddy, a young orphan, mistakenly crawls into Santa’s bag of gifts and is transported to the North Pole. The would-be elf is raised, unaware that he is actually a human until his enormous size and poor toy-making abilities cause him to face the truth. With Santa’s permission, Buddy embarks on a journey to New York City to find his birth father and discover his true identity. Faced with the harsh realities that his father is on the naughty list and his half-brother doesn’t even believe in Santa, Buddy is determined to win over his new family and help New York remember the true meaning of Christmas. The best way to spread Christmas Cheer is singing loud for all to hear.
