The Lian, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

i attended the play "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" on November 14th in the Taylor Theater. it was an UNCG theater production and i think they did a great job. having read the book and seen the movie, in comparison, they did a great job keeping to the original story. naturally they couldn't produce the entire show but they kept the major scenes so kudos for them.
the story is about 4 kids who, while playing in their country home, come across a portal to another world. this new world, that they later learn is called Narnia, is in the middle of the war between good and evil. the children are the key to good winning. the one brother, Edward, at first sides with the White Witch but when he realizes that she is in fact the wicked ruler of Narnia it is too late. luckily Aslan, the good, rightful ruler, and his army are successful in saving Ed. eventually a big battle occurs and the good wins out.
it is a very positive story and I'm glad that the UNCG theater decided to produce it and that i got to go.
