The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe - This Weekend!

Into the world of Narnia …the wicked White Witch, the mysterious wardrobe, the enormous Aslan … Heartwood Theater, in collaboration with GSB/AOS93, will present three performances for GSB students and three public performances Feb 7 & 8 of a one act student version of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” by C.S. Lewis. (With this many students on stage and only 3 public performances, better make your reservation soon – there may not be tickets available at the door.)

REVIEW OF ELEEMONSYNARY

David Treadwell, submitting to the Times Record

Eleemosynary: A World of Many Layers

Eleemosynary: 1. Charitable; of or for charity or alms; 2. A word rarely heard except at spelling bees; 3. A hauntingly human piece of writing crafted by Lee Blessing.

The set is stark in its simplicity. Three chairs. Three stands. Three glasses of water.

COASTAL JOURNAL REVIEW

By Chris Chase, Coastal Journal Staff

Legends are funny things.  Over the years they expand, the numbers inflate ("He was seven feet tall!"), events twist, until the end product might have just a smidgen of truth left in it.  They say Jim Cullen was such a man, a giant with the strength of five, his fearsome visage under a fiery head of red hair.
