Saturdays, 10:30am – 11:30am
When Lucy comes across the old wardrobe standing alone in the spare room, she thinks she has found a good place for hide and seek. But then she tumbles headlong into a magical world of fauns, dwarves, and giants, of animals that talk and horses that fly – the land of Narnia. It is so extraordinary that at first her brothers and sister don’t believe it could be real. Soon, though, Peter, Edmund and Susan find Narnia too and the adventures really begin. This class will focus on the play in its entirely- sets, costumes props and sound effects to bring this magical story to life.
