ABOUT THE SHOW...
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 crowning 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.

THE STORY...
The Brothers Grimm hit the stage with an epic fairytale about wishes, family and the choices we make.
James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take everyone's favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece... and a rare modern classic. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both enchanting and touching.
The story follows a Baker and his wife, who wish to have a child; Cinderella, who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack, who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break the curse.
Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

About the Show
Murder and mayhem collide in hilarious fashion as new radio station WCKY is preparing to air its first show in 1939. As the Clementine Sisters are about to sing the opening jingle, the action behind the scenes is infused with both excitement and drama. Head writer Roy plans to propose on air to Assistant Director Polly. One of the radio actresses, Sarah, has helped him procure a ring, and of course, Polly walks in just as Roy is down on one knee practicing his proposal with Sarah. When Sarah ends up dead a few minutes late as she's about to make her own shocking and unscripted announcement on the air, all signs point to poor Roy. By the time the night is over, two other on-air talents have also been murdered, and each time, Roy is the prime suspect. It's up to our creative writer to solve the mystery himself and reveal the actual killer through a live radio broadcast!

Possum Juniors...
What Makes the Possum experience unique? Possum Juniors are an affiliate group here at Possum Point Players. The purpose of our group is to provide opportunities for young performers and theatre artists to develop skills and friendships within the world of theatre. Membership is free and open to any student currently enrolled in grades 5 through 12. The "PJ's" (as we affectionately known) meet on the 3rd Monday of every month from 5:00p - 7:00p.
Each monthly workshop meeting focuses on a different aspect of the theatre world, along with improvisation and games to build confidence, creativity, and comradery. We cover topics such as makeup, lighting, costuming, choreography, playwriting, auditioning, as well as a focus on acting techniques and the fundamentals of theatre. Our workshops are offered from September through May.
During the summer months we have the opportunity to take the stage with a full-scale production, exploring a variety of genres, from plays to musicals to theatre-for-youth productions! The auditions for these shows are open to anyone in grades 5 through 12 regardless of participation in previous PJ meetings. PJ's also have the opportunity to work with Possum Point Players in a variety of other roles such as assisting backstage, helping with tech needs, ushering, and of course performing in main stage productions. Come join us for our next workshop and/or audition. We hope to see you soon!
