The National Tour of C.S. Lewis' THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS Returns to San Diego on Saturday, October 19

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS, the provocative and wickedly funny theatrical
adaptation of the C.S. Lewis novel about spiritual warfare from a
demon's point of view, returns to San Diego by popular demand for two
performances only.  The limited engagement will run at the Balboa
Theatre, 868 Fourth Avenue @ E Street in San Diego on Saturday, October
19 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Now in its third smash year, the National
Tour of THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS kicked off after a hit nine-month run at
the Westside Theatre in New York City.  Prior to that production, THE
SCREWTAPE LETTERS was a sold out hit in Chicago and Washington D. C.
 The National Tour of THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS has delighted capacity
audiences in over 50 major cities including Los Angeles, Boston and San
Francisco since January 2011.  Over 325,000 theatergoers have seen this
production.

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS creates a morally inverted
universe set in an eerily stylish office in hell, where God is called
the "Enemy" and the devil is referred to as "Our Father below."  The
play follows His Abysmal Sublimity Screwtape, and his slavish
creature-demon Toadpipe, as they train an apprentice demon, Wormwood, on
how to ruin the life and damn the soul of an unsuspecting human on
earth.
Associated Press calls the production "Devilishly funny!"
"Sly, funny, handsomely produced...the devil is an equal-opportunity
entertainer!" says The Washington Post.  "A profound experience!",
exclaims Christianity Today.The Boston Globe raves that it is
"Engrossing and entertaining!" and The Chicago Tribune says THE
SCREWTAPE LETTERS is "Very smart...richly rewarding...exuberant
theatricality!"
Screwtape is portrayed by award winning actor Brent
Harris, who played Scar in the National Tour of The Lion King, Lucifer
in Dr. Faustus, Iago in Othello, Salieri in Amadeus, Olivier in Orson's
Shadow, Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird, and the title role in
Macbeth. He is regularly seen in many productions staged by America's
greatest theatre companies.  

THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is produced
by New York City based Fellowship for the Performing Arts. Max McLean
serves as the Producing Artistic Director. McLean, along with Jeffrey
Fiske, wrote and directed the theatrical adaptation. Executive Producer
and General Manager is Ken Denison of Aruba Productions. Scenic Design
is by Cameron Anderson, Costumes by Michael Bevins, Lighting Design by
Jesse Klug, and Original Music and Sound Design by John Gromada.

The
National Tour of THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS honors the 50-year legacy of
C.S. Lewis who passed away on November 22, 1963, the same day President
Kennedy was assassinated. This anniversary will be accompanied by one of
Great Britain's highest honors: a memorial for Lewis in Poet's Corner
at Westminster Abbey, alongside such luminaries as Chaucer, Dickens, and
Shakespeare.
Along with The Chronicles of Narnia (including The
Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe), The Great Divorce and Mere
Christianity, THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS is still one of Lewis' most popular
and influential pieces.
THE SCREWTAPE LETTERS will play on Saturday,
October 19 at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.  Tickets are $29 to $59.  Student seats
are $25 (student ID required). For groups of 10 or more (including
