Yorkton's longest running community theatre will be performing a dramatized version of C.S. Lewis' The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, April 7th, 8th, 9th, and 10th at the Anne Portnuff Theatre.
The performance was originally intended to take place in February, but was postponed due to the venue being located at a high school that suffered a COVID outbreak.
"We've had two more months of rehearsing, and we are ready to go," said Teresa Weber, director of the production, adding, "we just want to get on the stage and perform it."
Weber said, "the production features 16 main stage actors as well as a dozen more extras and behind the scenes people."
The production took a lot of work from various departments of theatre, according to Weber. It includes costume design, make-up artistry and choreographed fight scenes involving the use of swords.
"Putting the actual costumes on brings things more to life," said Weber of recent rehearsals.
Weber said that tickets are available for purchase online, at the door on performance nights and also available for purchase through people part of the production, though Weber said they prefer if people acquire their tickets through the online vendor.
The play will run from April 7-9th starting at 7:30 p.m. each night with the final performance occurring on the afternoon of the 10th at 2 p.m.
