CHRISTMAS WITH C.S. LEWIS (2 shows) at the Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts

  • Jacksonville Center for the Performing Arts 300 Water Street Jacksonville, FL, 32202 United States (map)

In his early years C.S. Lewis believed the story of Christ’s birth was nothing more than feel-good myth. That all changed after a particular encounter with his great friend and fellow author, J.R.R.Tolkien. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning. Here we find him at his home near Oxford on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans who are "Christmassing" in England. They are about to experience an unforgettable assortment of Yuletide recollections which stimulates a whole range of emotions – curiosity, laughter, gladness and even some tears. Above all, they will discover how that encounter with Tolkien forever changed his Christmas celebrations. C.S. Lewis is portrayed by Daniel Payne.
