Noosa will be opening the door to magic during the upcoming Easter holidays with the help of Little Seed Theatre Company and Noosa Arts Theatre.
The pair are partnering to bring C.S Lewis’ timeless classic, The Lion, The Witch and The Wardobe, to life.
Four siblings are sent away from home during the blitz of WWII. They are sent to be watched over by old Professor Kirke, who owns a massive mansion.
Once there, they stumble upon an enormous wardrobe which transports them to the world of Narnia.
Narnia itself was once a peaceful realm filled with talking animals, fauns, giants and dwarves that is now under a cursed eternal winter by the villainous White Witch. With aid from the majestic lion Aslan, the four children lead Narnia into an all out war as they fight to outwit the Witch and restore peace to the land.
The cast features 24 local performers aged seven to 17.
Naire MacDonald plays the White White and may be familiar to audiences who have seen her onstage at the J in a Little Seed Muiscal: as Pugsley in The Addams Family as Babette in Beauty and the Beast or as Carmen Diaz in FAME.
Naire, in her final year at St Andrew’s Anglican College, is also a regular player at Little Seed’s Shakespeare at the Lake and will later this year star as Katherine in Taming of the Shrew.
The talented young cast have the support of Noosa Arts Theatre’s team of artists and builders who are doing a beautiful job of creating the set for Narnia.
Any production needs any army behind it and as Little Seed and Noosa Arts Theatre partner together for the first time, they are collectively working to bring the magical world of Narnia to our doorstep in Noosa.
The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe plays at Noosa Arts Theatre 5-9 April and tickets are selling fast.
