Like hundreds of actors in New York, George Drance holds down another job while pursuing his acting career. Unlike his contemporaries, though, Drance doesn’t fill in as a temp or wait tables. In fact, his other work is as much a vocation as is his acting. As a Jesuit priest, Fr. Drance integrates his two worlds with the ease of a skilled performer.

For 20 years, Tom Key has explored those themes through his one-man show, “C.S. Lewis On Stage,” which he brought to the South Bend Christian Reformed Church on Sunday night.

Tickets are available for South Valley Civic Theatre young performers’ production of ‘Narnia.’ The musical is running in Morgan Hill, CA.

Encore Stage & Studio’s Children’s Theatre brings this magical land of Narnia to life through a production of C.S. Lewis’ “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.”

The prairies are taking on tinsletown in the battle for Narnia. With the impending release of Hollywood’s The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, Rosebud Theatre is taking on the challenge of presenting their version for the stage without CGI or THX sound. Only two actors to play every role!

A magnificent lion, a terrifying witch, fauns, ghouls, talking animals, wandering children and an enchanted wardrobe are all part of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” to be presented in Waxahachie. About 30 young actors will perform a theatrical adaptation of C.S. Lewis’ tale Oct. 26, 28 and 29 and Nov. 4.

Fans in the San Francisco Bay Area: This is a sophisticated, beautifully staged play with some great special effects — appropriate for adults, families and kids (though perhaps children under five might be a bit scared in the killing Aslan scene or the battle scene?).
