Parents & Families

Join your fellow Westmont alumni and parents from Santa Barbara to see award-winning actor Max McLean brings C.S. Lewis to life on stage at the Granada. The performance captures "Lewis' extraordinary journey from hard-boiled atheist to 'the most reluctant convert in all England' only to become the most influential Christian writer of the 20th century."

A limited number of tickets are available at the all-inclusive group rate of $65 each, with a limit of two per person. The ticket price includes the play, reception, lecture, taxes and fees.

The Alumni and Parent Relations Office will host a reception at Westmont Downtown, 26 West Anapamu Street, immediately following the performance. Here Jim Taylor '78, Westmont professor of philosophy, reflect on the play and lead a stimulating discussion. Enjoy appetizers at the reception, and then you can get dinner on your own downtown, perhaps with some new friends you met at the play.

Please call the Alumni & Parent Relations Office at (805) 565-6056 if you have any questions or need more information.

Join your fellow Westmont alumni and parents from the Dallas area to see The Great Divorce — C.S. Lewis' mesmerizing fantasy about heaven, hell and the choice between them — come to life with Lewis' signature wit, amazing actors and dazzling, state-of-the-art stagecraft!

Lewis' brilliantly drawn characters take a fantastical bus trip from hell to the outskirts of paradise. Each receives an opportunity to stay . . . or return to hell, forever divorced from heaven. The choice proves more challenging than imagined.

The Alumni and Parent Relations Office will host a pre-play reception immediately before the performance, Lorinda Dry, Assistant Director of Alumni and Parent Programs, will be your host and will discuss additional opportunities for engagement in the greater Dallas area. Enjoy appetizers and conversation at the reception, and then we suggest you get dinner on your own downtown, perhaps with some new friends you met at the play. The location of the reception will be included in later communications.

A limited number of tickets are available at the all-inclusive group rate of $65 each, with a limit of two per person. The ticket price includes the play, reception, taxes and fees.

Please call the Alumni & Parent Relations Office at (805) 565-6056 if you have any questions or need more information.
