Amaka Umeh as The Witch
Commissioned by our collaborators at Manitoba Theatre For Young People, this musical adaptation draws inspiration from The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe and C.S. Lewis’ broader chronicles of Narnia.
A story about the changing seasons of our lives, found families, and how we learn to say goodbye.
NARNIA will premiere Winter 2025 at Soulpepper Theatre in a co-production with Crow’s Theatre, Soulpepper, and Bad Hats.
