Update - Our Spring musical is "Captain Bree & her Lady Pirates"!

This musical comedy is a tale on the high seas as Captain Bree and her 'mean and nasty' female pirate crew take over another ship, the Kayla May. But Bree meets her match in Captain Jennings and his motley crew and passengers. Sword fights, plank walking and even a touch of romance make this show one that will entertain the entire family! It will be showing on March 16,17 and possibly 18, 2012.

Auditions: Auditions for this musical comedy will be January 13 from 4-6 pm and January 14 from  10am-noon, open for all 4th through 8th graders!
