Colorado Springs – The Dragonfly Aerial Academy is bringing a new kind of theater to the Ent Center of the Arts. After negotiating with the C.S. Lewis estate, the studio earned the rights to create an original aerial version of the beloved classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The production will take place inside the Shockley‑Zalabak Theater, with three performances scheduled for this weekend.
Performance Details
Two shows are slated for Saturday and one for Sunday, giving families and theater lovers multiple opportunities to experience the story from a unique perspective. Ticket prices range from $22.75 to $39.50, and a full schedule with purchasing links is available on the Ent Center’s website.
What to Expect
The aerial adaptation will feature trained performers suspended from rigging, creating the illusion of soaring over the snowy landscapes of Narnia. Audiences can anticipate familiar scenes—such as the children’s first encounter with the White Witch and the epic battle at the Stone Table—reimagined with graceful choreography, dramatic lighting, and live music.
Local Community Involvement
Dragonfly Aerial Academy, a Colorado Springs‑based studio, has long supported the local arts community by offering classes for children and adults alike. This production showcases the talent of local aerialists while also highlighting the city’s growing reputation as a hub for innovative performing arts.
Interview and Behind‑the‑Scenes
KRDO13’s Bradley Davis will sit down with the cast on the morning show Good Morning Colorado. Viewers can watch the performers try out a few aerial tricks and hear about the creative process behind adapting a literary classic for the sky.

Tickets sales benefit both the Dragonfly Aerial Academy and the Ent Center of the Arts, helping fund future productions and educational programs.
