Symbolism in Narnia the musical is thought-provoking

My duaghter just performed in the play, Narnia, a musical based on the book, The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. It was done by kids at my parish church and it was very good. One thing that stood out for me was that the play was written to have the professor, Father Christmas and Aslan done by the same actor - this is symbolism that is thought-provoking. All three characters are great role models, the professor for taking the kids in, Father Christmas for being generous and giving gifts, and of course, Aslan for what he does (don't want to spoil the story for anyone). It seems like it is saying that we can't be Aslan but we can be the same as him by doing Christian acts of charity (what you do for the least of my brothers, you do unto me). I also like the fact that the leader of the children is named Peter - Christ gives the keys to the kingdom to Peter and Aslan gives the kingdom of Narnia to Peter also - a very good Catholic imagery. It was a very nice commentary on Catholic teachings done in an entertaining way. It would be great to have more of these types of productions.
