Lewis\u2019 fantasy epic \u201cThe Horse and His Boy\u201d To the World Stage Theater at the Museum of the Bible Washington, D.C. The show <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museumofthebible.org\/horse-and-his-boy-live-onstage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">premieres on Friday<\/a>This is the first of 41 performances scheduled to run through March 3rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is a fan favorite and largely a standalone story. \u201cThe Chronicles of Narnia,\u201d some readers may be skeptical that this sweeping hero\u2019s journey \u2014 with two horses and the Great Lion, Aslan, in significant roles \u2014 can work as a live performance. But the 48-member Logos Theatre troupe isn\u2019t doing it halfway, having created massive puppets for these unique animal roles, each requiring three performers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt brings a lot of excitement to the stage, seeing live puppeteers bring these horses to life,\u201d Nicole Stratton, the director, stated this in an interview. Complex puppets are made from fiberglass, aluminum and various other materials. They also make use of 3D printer technology. This play continues to build on the innovations that have been introduced to Broadway shows in recent years, such as \u201cWar Horse\u201d And \u201cThe Lion King.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Logos Theatre productions are often criticized by local critics. \u201cengrossing\u201d And \u201cincredible,\u201d The source is where the team cares most.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Douglas Gresham, 77 years old, stepson of C.S. Lewis, a key figure within the Lewis estate and a co-worker with Stratton during the first stage plan in 2019. \u201cThe Horse and His Boy.\u201d It\u2019s a novel that Lewis dedicated to Gresham and his brother. (\u201cNo pressure, right?\u201d Stratton.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gresham travelled to Taylors, South Carolina to see the show. \u201cI never lost attention for a split second,\u201d Gresham said this in a post-show interview <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fjnFT2nPczs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online<\/a>. \u201cThere are so many little bits and pieces that I loved [that] I was concentrating on the whole thing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>How will it perform in Washington? The theater scene is well-known for its almost 70 venues and troupes performing live in every season. However, it has struggled to recover since Covid-related restrictions were removed.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A museum representative sounds hopeful. \u201cNearly three years after the pandemic first shuttered performance venues across D.C., Museum of the Bible is thrilled to be bringing live theater back,\u201d Charlotte Clay, director marketing and communications, released a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p> Fantasy Dramas Speak to Current Issues <\/p>\n<p>In this story, Shasta (an orphan boy) and Bree (a war horse), attempt to escape slavery and travel through the night. \u201cto Narnia and the north.\u201d It\u2019s the only one of Lewis\u2019 Narnia stories to begin without modern-day characters entering the fabled land.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Soon, another talking Narnian horse, Hwin, and teenage princess, Aravis \u2014 who is fleeing days prior to her arranged marriage to a man decades older \u2014 happen upon Shasta and Bree. The four become an unlikely caravan during the three-hour drama, with the two children\u2019s conflict evolving as the story progresses.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Liliana Groth (15 years old), plays Aravis. \u201cWell, I have younger brothers, so I am<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An elaborate production of C.S.
