ACT ONE’s cast of local students bring you a live production of Disney’s “The Lion King, Jr.”
Based on the 1994 Disney animated feature film of the same name and William Shakespeare’s Hamlet, The Lion King is the story of Simba, an adventurous and energetic lion cub who is next in line to be king of the Pride Lands, a thriving and beautiful region in the African savanna. When Simba’s father Mufasa is killed by his uncle Scar, though, Simba is led to believe that his father’s death is his fault, and he is encouraged to run away forever. Scar seizes power and with his already unstable mind deteriorating, the Pride Lands experiences a darkness and desolation from which only Simba can save the animals of the kingdom. Featuring classic songs from the film such as “Circle of Life,” “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” “Hakuna Matata,” and “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” The Lion King is a story and a spectacle about identity, family, and responsibility that is enjoyed worldwide by people of all ages.
Eighty children attended auditions for the Lion King, Jr, and we firmly believe every child deserves the opportunity to experience theater by being part of our educational program.
Co-Directors J.P. Gulla and Leeanne Shepherd decided to have a full double cast. Cast A principals will participate with Cast B as ensemble and vice versa.
