Tony LawtonOn Saturday evening, November 19, the College of Saint Thomas More presented Mr. Tony Lawton at the fifteenth annual Lewis-Tolkien Dinner and Lecture. Mr. Lawton brought vividly to life the cast of the Great Divorce: George MacDonald, the woman who simply had to have someone to manage, the man who only wanted his rights, and the addict. Mr. Lawton is a graduate of Notre Dame who pursues his acting career as a vocation, both by representing the text of C. S. Lewis’s stories dramatically and by offering spiritual drama to a secular world through his Mirror Theater Company.

The Lewis-Tolkien Dinner and Lecture is an annual event sponsored by The College of St. Thomas More’s C. S. Lewis Center for the Common Tradition. Through the Center the college has brought to this event such internationally known scholars as Peter Kreeft, Thomas Howard, Richard Land, and Father Ian Ker. The Center was organized not to take part in ecumenical dialog but to pursue the common interests of Christians on the assumption of a shared love for God and love of learning.

Tony Lawton lives in Philadelphia where he is at work on a novel and a children’s story in which the main character is winningly named Foozy.
