BWW Review: LEWIS AND TOLKIEN at Taproot Theater
by Amelia Divine - Feb 1, 2025
For two men who built grand worlds of myth and magic, LEWIS AND TOLKIEN is a strikingly intimate and deeply human story—not of great battles or epic journeys, but of friendship, regret, and the quiet ache of unspoken words. Now playing at the Taproot Theater, this play, adapted from Colin Duriez’s novel Tolkien and C.S. Lewis: The Gift of Friendship, is not a play about C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien as authors, but as friends—friends who have hurt each other, who feel unseen, and who struggle, in the way that sometimes men do, to be truly vulnerable with one another.

Review: THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE at FreeFall Stage
by Courtney Symes - Nov 8, 2024
Over seventy years after its initial publishing, C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe continues to entertain children of all ages. FreeFall Stage is bringing the classic story to life on stage with an adaptation by Joseph Robinette. Director DeeDee Eldridge is at the helm of this project and, when asked why she chose this story to tell, said, “It’s a wonderful, iconic story and it’s been twenty years since I did it with my students.” She has assembled another great cast to deliver Lewis’s message of perseverance, courage, and hope.
