“Safe?... don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.” By popular demand, 9th Hour Theatre Company brings back the Deep Magic of Narnia to the Ottawa stage once again with the beloved characters and timeless story by C.S. Lewis. Rediscover the magic of Narnia this Christmas through the magic of theatre with this classic tale of good and evil, talking animals, the bravery of children, and a sacrifice of love.
Check out a review of our production by Rachel Feddema called Waiting for Aslan.
The story centers around four children who for much of the story are navigating the cold winter of Narnia (not unlike Ottawa). The Snowsuit Fund is an Ottawa-based charity that for over 40 years has raised funds for the purchase and distribution of new, quality made snowsuits to children in the community.
Thanks to the generosity of our patrons, we are pleased to have raised over $5,500 for The Snowsuit Fund of Ottawa through performances.
