Descendants: The Musical

Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films! When four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?

 Newsies, Jr

July 17 – July 29, 2023

Disney’s Newsies JR. is based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies JR. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award winner Harvey Fierstein. When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys’ expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what’s right.

*Performances are Friday, July 28th, at 3 PM and 7 PM, and Saturday, July 29th at 1 PM and 4 PM at
the Charles A. Brown Historic Ice House.

Jr. Guys and Dolls, Jr. (Grades 6 – 12)

August 7 – 19, 2023

Guys and Dolls JR. is an adaptation of the show considered by many to be the perfect musical comedy. Set in Damon Runyon’s New York City, Guys and Dolls JR. follows Nathan Detroit as he tries to find the cash to set up the biggest crap game in town while the authorities breathe down his neck. Meanwhile, his girlfriend and nightclub performer, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years without ever getting married. Nathan turns to fellow gambler, Sky Masterson, for the dough, but Sky ends up chasing the straight-laced missionary, Sarah Brown. Guys and Dolls JR. takes us from the heart of Times Square to the cafes of Havana, but everyone eventually ends up right where they belong.

*Performances are Friday, August 19th, at 3 PM and 7 PM, and Saturday, August 20th, at 1 PM and
4 PM at the Charles A. Brown Historic Ice House.
