The magical world of Narnia is coming to Washougal High School in December, a Journey Theater presentation

The magical world of Narnia is coming to Washougal in December, courtesy of Journey Theater.

The first and most famous story of The Chronicles of Narnia has become a musical presentation of this unique, enchanted world filled with creatures and spirits of myth and fable, both good and evil, demonic and transcendent. 

The principal inhabitants are the intelligent talking animals ruled by the majestic King Asland, the great lion of Narnia. Though Aslan is often absent from the land — so that his very existence is doubted by some — he returns when the need for him is greatest.

Entering Narnia at a moment of high adventure are some children, plucked from our world in unexpected ways to help Narnia and to learn from their Narnia odyssey lessons of courage, unselfishness, and wisdom that will help them grow.

Among the stars of the show, Jaisey Pace will play The White Witch and Isaac Wood will play Edmund Pevensie.

Narnia will be presented by Journey Theater with performances Dec. 5, 6, 12, and 13 at Washougal High School, 1201 39th Street in Washougal.

Tickets are on sale at journeytheater.org or by calling 360-750-8550. Adult tickets are $19. Youth and senior citizens are $17. Tickets for all performances are $2 more at the door.

Opening night is 7 p.m. Dec. 5. There are two shows on Saturday, Dec. 6 — at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. The schedule repeats the following week with a 7 p.m. show on Friday, Dec. 12, and 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. performances on Saturday, Dec. 13.
