I took my daughter to her second live play this week – “The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe”. Jaylyn – my five year old – loves Narnia, and “The Lion, The Witch, & The Wardrobe” is one of her favorite stories, thanks to her MawMaw Tracy. My younger cousins, Olivia & Dmitri, performed in the play. Olivia was a member of the witch's army, and Dmitri played Mr. Tumnus.
The play was performed at Biloxi Little Theatre, on Lee Street in Biloxi. I had never been inside the theatre before and was quite surprise at the limited space and seating; however, it provided a more intimate atmosphere, and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house. My daughter, mom, and I chose a seat on the second row from the front, towards the right side. It was a perfect spot! We arrived about thirty minutes early, so keeping Jaylyn entertained before the show was quite interesting.
The talent of the children – ages three to eighteen – was incredible. Claire, the high-schooler who played Susan did an excellent job with her accent and complete identity as the girl in the book and movies. She was also a student director for the performance. Ester, the third grader who played Lucy, surprised me with her ability to memorize all the lines and make you feel like you were really somewhere off in Europe. The White Witch, played by Bethany, and Tumnus, played by Dmitri, also gave great performances. Bethany was so convincing that she literally made you nervous for the children in the play!
I was extremely surprised with how great the story and actors kept the attention of all the young children in the audience, especially Jaylyn.
We will absolutely be checking the theatre’s schedule at www.4blt.org for upcoming performances of plays. - Taryn
