OVERVIEW/SYNOPSIS
"The story follows a young lion prince named Simba, who is exiled from his kingdom after his father Mufasa is killed by his uncle Scar to seize the throne. As he grows up, Simba must decide whether to continue his carefree life in exile with his friends Timon and Pumbaa, or return home to confront Scar and reclaim his place as king."
The Lion King Minis features classic songs from the Broadway musical and animated feature film, including “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” "Be Prepared," “He Lives in You,” and “Hakuna Matata.”
ABOUT THE PROCESS
Casting will happen at the first rehearsal, and everyone who registers will be cast. This is an excellent learning experience for young actors who want to perform in a fully-staged musical. We create a safe learning environment where everyone will feel like an important part of the production. We value inclusion, creativity and fun.
We limit the number of actors in our program so that we can build one-on-one relationships with them. We individualize their experience, to help them develop the skills necessary to thrive in the theatre arts. We pride ourselves on creating top-notch learning experience on stage and off.
Rehearsal dates: Tuesdays, February 10th - May 12th
No rehearsal on: February 17th, April 7th & April 21st
Location: Rehearsals and performances will take place at the NESPA Blackbox Theatre, located at 55 Concord St. in North Reading, MA. We occupy suites 106 and 107.
