ABOUT THE SHOW

When Lucy Pevensie steps through an ordinary wardrobe, she discovers Narnia—a land of talking animals, mythical creatures, and an endless winter ruled by the powerful White Witch. Soon Lucy and her siblings, Peter, Susan, and Edmund, find themselves swept into a struggle much larger than themselves. With the return of the great lion Aslan, the children must discover courage, loyalty, forgiveness, and what it means to stand for something greater than themselves. Joseph Robinette's full-length adaptation brings the adventure and wonder of C.S. Lewis's classic novel to the stage in a story designed for actors of multiple generations.

​

CASTING / AVAILABLE ROLES

We are seeking performers for Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, Aslan, the White Witch, Mr. Tumnus, Mr. Beaver, Mrs. Beaver, Father Christmas, the Witch's followers, Narnians, and additional ensemble roles.

Storyteller Theatre practices open casting and encourages actors of varying backgrounds, experience levels, and types to audition. Casting will be based on the needs of the production, and the ages of actors cast may differ from the ages of their characters.

​

Peter Pevensie — The eldest Pevensie sibling. Responsible, protective, and increasingly courageous. Peter begins as an ordinary older brother but grows into a capable leader as the children become involved in Narnia’s struggle against the White Witch. A substantial role requiring sincerity and authority.

Susan Pevensie — The second-oldest sibling. Practical, cautious, intelligent, and protective. Susan tends to approach the extraordinary events in Narnia with more skepticism and restraint than Lucy, but ultimately demonstrates courage and loyalty.

Edmund Pevensie — The third Pevensie child. Difficult, resentful, sarcastic, and vulnerable to manipulation when the story begins. His encounter with the White Witch sets much of the plot in motion. Edmund has one of the strongest emotional arcs in the play as he experiences betrayal, consequences, forgiveness, and redemption.
 

Lucy Pevensie — The youngest Pevensie sibling and the first to discover Narnia. Openhearted, imaginative, brave, and deeply trusting. Lucy forms an immediate friendship with Mr. Tumnus and remains one of Aslan’s most faithful supporters.

Aslan — The great Lion and rightful leader of Narnia. Powerful, wise, compassionate, and commanding. His return brings hope to those resisting the White Witch. The role needs an actor with considerable presence; looking for an actor who can handle strength of puppeteering.
 

The White Witch — The tyrannical ruler who has placed Narnia under an endless winter. Beautiful, cold, intelligent, manipulative, and frightening. She initially charms Edmund before revealing the cruelty beneath her elegance. One of the production’s largest and most theatrical roles.
 

Mr. Tumnus — A faun whom Lucy meets shortly after entering Narnia. Gentle, nervous, kindhearted, and somewhat melancholy. Although ordered to betray humans to the Witch, his friendship with Lucy gives him the courage to resist her.

Mr. Beaver — A loyal supporter of Aslan who helps guide the Pevensie children through Narnia. Practical, courageous, warm, and often a source of humor.

Mrs. Beaver — Mr. Beaver’s equally loyal and capable wife. Maternal without being timid, sensible, hospitable, and courageous. She brings warmth and comic energy to the Beavers' scenes.

The Dwarf — The White Witch’s servant and companion. Loyal to the Witch and involved in carrying out her commands. Often played as watchful, unpleasant, and slightly comic while still representing a genuine threat.

Father Christmas — Appears as winter begins to lose the Witch’s grip. Warm, authoritative, and celebratory. He gives Peter, Susan, and Lucy gifts that will aid them later in their journey.

Fenris Ulf — The White Witch’s wolf captain and one of her principal enforcers. Aggressive, dangerous, and completely loyal to the Witch. He leads the forces pursuing the children and Aslan's followers. Looking for an actor who can handle strength of puppeteering.
