CARNEYS POINT TWP. -- The New Jersey Theatre Alliance and Fox Tale Players/Salem County Arts Alliance will present Surflight Theatre's production of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" Saturday at 4 p.m.
The performance is part of the seventh annual AT&T Family Week at the Theatre and is offered free of charge to children and their families.
In this unique adaptation of the classic tale, all the roles are played by two performers ... with some audience participation. This imaginative and whimsical interpretation, directed by Pamela Hoffman, stars Laurie Hardy and Joey Rizzolo. Their dynamic acting, accentuated by simple costumes and set, allow young people to create Narnia in their imaginations. Youth Stages, LLC is proud to bring this heroic tale of love, faith, courage and giving, a tale in which good triumphs over evil, to yet another generation of children. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" is performed in-the-round with the audience sitting on the floor around the actors. It is recommended to ages five and older.
AT&T Family Week at the Theatre is an annual statewide festival offering free and discounted tickets to young people and their families and has been developed to encourage families to attend professional theatre together by making the experience affordable, educational and exciting.

Dodge Foundation, the HMS Foundation, Johnson and Johnson, the MCJ Foundation, Morgan Stanley, the Prudential Foundation, Sovereign Bank, Target Stores and the Whitney Houston Foundation for Children.
