THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE AUDITIONS AT THEATRE 29

Theatre 29’s first mainstage in person performance of the 2021 season, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe, is seeking talent. Entertainment Reporter Charlie Thomas says today is the day to join the cast in Narnia…

After a pandemic-induced delay of about almost fifteen months, Theatre 29 will hold auditions for open roles in the drama The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. This dramatization of C.S. Lewis’ classic, set in the magical land of Narnia, 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.

Auditions will be held on Monday, July 5th at 6:00pm on the Theatre 29 Main Stage (73637 Sullivan Road, Twentynine Palms). Artistic Director Char Childs is looking for an active and ethnically diverse group (especially kids!) to join her in this very physical and magical production.  This story will be told with a rich mix of drama and movement.  Makeup, costumes, and changes in physicality will represent the various creatures of Narnia.

The roles of The White Witch, Mrs. Beaver, Tumnus & Fenris Ulf have been precast. The creative team is looking to cast the roles of Aslan, The four Pevensie children: Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter, Mr. Beaver, The Centaur, The Dwarf, Father Christmas and his elf, The White Stag, 4 Woodland Creatures & 5 Wood Nymphs. Roles for children are available. Rehearsals will be Monday – Friday from 6:00 – 9:00 July 6 – August 19.  A complete breakdown of the characters can be found on the Theatre 29 website at theatre29.org/auditions. Those auditioning should dress ready to move and be prepared to read for any role. If you are unable to attend the auditions on July 5th but would still like to be considered for the show, contact the director. For more information, contact Director Char Childs at (760) 401-5106 or by e-mail at [email protected].

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe will run weekends at Theatre 29 from August 20th to September 5th. For tickets, visit theatre29.org or call the Theatre 29 Box Office at (760) 361-4151.
