The Narnia Experience

The Narnia Experience is a big piece of community theatre requiring 144 performers, 60 costumed ushers and about 200 construction workers, costumiers and set designers.

The experience has been specifically designed for school children but will be open to the public on evenings and weekends.

This is not normal ‘sit down’ theatre. Groups of 30 children will arrive at Left Bank Leeds (a beautiful former church in Burley), enter through a wardrobe of fur coats into a winter wonderland. They get split into two groups of 15. One group is ‘Lucy’ and the other group is ‘Edmund’.

They then take different routes through the story of Narnia. Lucy’s group meet Mr Tumnus, Mrs Beaver, Father Christmas, the White Witch and Aslan. Whereas Edmund’s group has a scarier time, going to the White Witch’s palace, get chased by wolves and possibly getting turned to stone!
