Acting Out Our Faith

One of the ways in which young people can connect with issues of faith is through drama.

Saint Catherine’s offers two programs. 

For six years, we have presented a play based upon one of the Narnia stories of C.S. Lewis.

Coming in September 2010: The Magician's Nephew, which describes the way in which Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer are tricked by Digory's Uncle Andrew into travelling between worlds, and are present at the creation of Narnia.

Presented at the Terry Fox Theatre in Port Coquitlam.

And each summer we create a movie from a Bible story.

In July 2009, as part of its centenary celebrations, Saint Catherine's was proud to present the fifth in a series of plays based upon the Chronicles of Narnia, The Silver Chair, by C.S. Lewis.

In this story, Aslan calls Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole into Narnia to rescue a prince who has been kidnapped and enchanted by a witch.   With a tall, web-footed creature called a Marsh-Wiggle, they have to survive man-eating giants and life in a world underground - in addition to the consequences of their own errors - before completing their quest.

Reflections on the story may be found in our Occasional Articles section.

Thanks to all who contributed their time and energy to this production, which once again demonstrated the considerable dramatic talents of the youth of our community.
