Students entering grades 4 through 6 are performing the musical version of the Disney Classic, The Lion King Jr. The youngest performers entering grades 2-3 are hosting a variety showcase of music and dance around the theme, Under the Sea.

Preparation for the 2022 Summer Stock shows began June 27.

Each level is designed to give the students a well-rounded introduction to live musical theater production, building on their skills as they learn all aspects of staging a show.
