Ragtime (School Edition)
About the Show:
Ragtime is not only a powerful portrait of life in turn-of-the-century America, but a relevant tale for today. Written by the award-winning composer/lyricist team of Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, noted playwright Terrence McNally, and based on E.L. Doctorow's distinguished novel, the musical intertwines the stories of three extraordinary families, as they confront history's timeless contradictions of wealth and poverty, freedom and prejudice, hope and despair, and what it means to live in America. Featured are such show stopping songs as "Your Daddy's Son," "Wheels of a Dream," and "Make Them Hear You." This thrilling musical is sure to inspire!

All Shook Up
About the Show:
All Shook Up mixes a little bit of Shakespeare with a whole lot of “The King”, and guarantees that your entire family will be jumpin’ out of their blue suede shoes! Shakespeare's Twelfth Night is transported to Small Town, USA circa 1955. When “a rolling roustabout with a song in his soul and an eye for the ladies” rambles into town on his motorcycle, guitar slung over the leather jacket on his back, everyone eventually responds with new attitudes and welcome results. Inspired by and featuring the songs of Elvis Presley

Disney's High School Musical
About the Show:
This Emmy-award winning modern day "Romeo and Juliet" was a breakout hit on the silver screen and is about to take the KIDSTAGE world by storm! When the captain of the basketball team and a bright transfer student decide to audition for the school musical, they find themselves caught in a hailstorm of stereotypes and cliques. Competing against the school's star performers, they struggle to prove to their classmates, and themselves, that you don't have to, "Stick to the status quo." This upbeat musical brings the halls of high-school to life, complete with humor, heartache, and a pop rock score including smash hits "We're All in This Together", "Get'cha Your Head in the Game", and "Breaking Free".

Little Shop of Horrors
About the Show: A down-and out skid row floral assistant becomes an overnight sensation when he discovers an exotic plant with a mysterious craving for fresh blood. Soon "Audrey II" grows into an ill-tempered, foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore who offers him fame and fortune in exchange for feeding its growing appetite, finally revealing itself to be an alien creature poised for global domination! One of the longest-running Off-Broadway shows of all time, this affectionate spoof of 1950s sci-fi movies has become a house-hold name, thanks to a score by the songwriting team of Howard Ashman and Alan Menken, who redefined the animated musical film with Disney's "The Little Mermaid", "Beauty And The Beast" and "Aladdin." Charming, tuneful and hilarious, with tongue firmly planted in cheek, Little Shop Of Horrors never fails to entertain.
