When little Lucy Pevensie and her siblings find a mysterious, magical portal deep inside an old wardrobe, they stumble into an incredible adventure! Surrounded by fauns, unicorns, centaurs, talking beavers and more, the children ultimately find themselves assisting the mighty lion Aslan in his battle against the villainous White Witch for the heart and soul of Narnia. This classic tale of good versus evil, and love and courage triumphing over selfishness and fear, will warm even the iciest hearts.

The 2022-2023 Family Theatre Season continues with DISNEY’S DESCENDANTS: THE MUSICAL performing in February 2023 with special Conejo Theatre For Everyone performances February 24 – 26. Disney’s most infamous villains have all been exiled to the Isle of the Lost where their teenage children have made their parents proud by becoming “Rotten to The Core.” When the Prince of Auredon – son of Beauty and the Beast – decides to offer four “Villain’s Kids” spots at Auredon Prep and a chance at a different path, the children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil find themselves with a difficult choice to make – honor their evil parents or help each other forge their own identities.
The Family Theatre Season closes with INTO THE WOODS, performing in May 2023.
When you live next door to an evil witch, don’t take anything from her garden no matter how tasty it looks! Follow four classic fairy tales at once as they intersect and veer off the path in one of Stephen Sondheim’s greatest works. Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack, and the Baker and his Wife all head into the woods to find their destinies and along the way encounter Charming Princes, Big Bad Wolves, Witches, and Giants. Anything can happen in the woods but finding their way back out again may prove more difficult and require more growing up than they ever imagined.
Young Artists Ensemble is an award-winning theatre company for young people that has received many accolades, including the Encore Statue Award from the City of Thousand Oaks for Excellence in the Arts.
