Today, we welcome Sarah H. as a Guest Contributor to Family Fun in Omaha!
We had the pleasure of attending the sneak peek of ‘Narnia’ at The Rose Theater. My daughter & I have read the beloved children’s book ‘The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe’ by CS Lewis many times, so we were eagerly anticipating the play.
We arrived early, and took advantage of the fun photo booth provided by one of the play’s sponsors, WOWT/Channel 6. We stood in front of a green screen, but appeared in Narnia! We also took the opportunity for a photo op in the wardrobe out in the lobby.
The set was gorgeous – we felt like we had been whisked away to Professor Diggory’s lovely house in the English countryside. We sat near the infamous lamp post and it was great to be so close to the action on stage.
All of the actors did a wonderful job bringing the story to life – the casting was perfect! Our favorites were the White Witch and Mr. Tumnus the faun. The songs were catchy & fun, the dialogue was engaging – in short, it was a wonderful play!
You can see ‘Narnia’ at The Rose Theater December 6 – 29. This is definitely a better choice for older kids – the theater recommends it for ages 6-13. It is a perfect Christmas activity for your family to enjoy. Thank you, Family Fun in Omaha and The Rose Theater for providing tickets for us to attend!
Disclosure: Many thanks to Sarah for being a guest contributor, and to The Rose Theater for providing the passes.
