$64

Spend “Christmas with C.S. Lewis,” at the Winningstad Theatre, 1111 S.W. Broadway, Portland. Performances are 7:30 p.m. Dec. 15, 16 and 17 and 2 p.m. Dec. 17 and 18. Tickets are $64, available at portland5.com/winningstad-theatre/events/christmas-cs-lewis. The performance consists of two 40 minute acts with a 15 minute intermission.

In the early years of his life C S Lewis believed Christ’s birth was nothing more than myth. That changed after an encounter with his friend and author, J.R.R. Tolkien. Though both men loved mythology, Tolkien was convinced that Jesus was the one true myth. That was the start of Lewis’ journey from Atheism to Christianity. From that point on Christmas, for Lewis, took on an entirely different meaning. Here we find him at his Oxford home on Christmas Eve hosting a group of Americans. Lewis shares Yuletide recollections which stimulate curiosity, laughter, gladness and tears.
