Christmas with C.S. Lewis at Adler Theatre

C.S. Lewis is one of the most celebrated writers, speakers, and authors around the globe. Known for "The Chronicles of Narnia" and his legacy in Christianity, the man has inspired generations of readers for his charming wit and intellectual masterpieces. From atheism to his return to Christianity, the man's work and philosophical commentaries have influenced and transformed lives.

It all began through an encounter with J R R Tolkien, planting a seed in his heart that would later bloom into a transformed life. From believing that Christmas was simply a feel-good holiday myth, he's come to realize the true meaning of the season.

"When Lewis was a young man, he became an atheist so for 20 years. Christmas didn’t mean anything to him. Then he becomes a Christian and thereafter, Christmas was very important to him," David Payne, founder of Bird and Baby Productions said, as cited from The Alabama Baptist.

The year is 1962, and the famous British author is hosting a group of American writers at his home near Oxford. As these intellectuals come to celebrate the season in England, Lewis warms it all up with his display of oratory and humor — something that made him one of England's most famous public speakers. Sharing his beliefs about the festive time, audiences are bound to see his life story unfold.

With books that changed millions of lives, Christmas marks the very reason why the course of his life changed. This powerful yet intimate portrayal of his wit, charm, and personality will take you on an enthralling evening with C.S. Lewis. In honor of his legacy, this spectacle will take you on a deep dive into the man's life-altering events that made him the great person he became.

"He had a great way disseminating basic Christian truth. He was able to look at it from another perspective and reiterate the Christian truth that you had already believed, but you now saw it in a different direction. He made me think about my Christian faith more than I have before," Payne shared.

It's the perfect spectacle to warm up your Christmas hearts. Spending an evening with C.S. Lewis, it's a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience specially made in celebration of how the man changed his view about the season of Christ's birth.
