Semester 1 2025: NARNIA (Ages 7-15)

Experience the magic and adventure of NARNIA!

Drawing inspiration from the enchanting world of Narnia, this production course invites students to step into a thrilling adventure where bravery, friendship, and the timeless battle between good and evil take centre stage.

A vibrant cast of characters awaits, including wicked queens, mystical beings, talking animals, and courageous children and young adults who dare to journey through the wardrobe into a realm of wonder and peril.

The course culminates in a captivating production of NARNIA at the Belconnen Theatre, bringing this magical world to life on stage at the end of Semester 2, 2025.

This production course is for children and young adults ages 7-16. We need a range of ages to cast a range of characters, from little Lucy and forest creatures to the older characters like the White Queen. Every performer receives a speaking role in the production.

Themes We Will Explore

• Courage in the Face of Challenges: Discover what it means to stand up for what’s right.
• Friendship and Loyalty: Build bonds and explore the power of unity.
• Good vs. Evil: Dive into epic battles and the choices that shape destiny.
• Belonging and Purpose: Uncover the importance of finding your place in the world.
• Transformation and Redemption: Learn how characters evolve through their journeys.
