Based on the story of FA MULAN, and subsequent 1998 Disney film, this musical journeys to ancient China where the Huns have invaded, and it is up to the misfit Mulan and her mischievous dragon sidekick, Mushu, to save the Emperor! Mulan takes up arms and disguises herself as a boy in order to spare her father from having to serve in the army. As the great battle approaches, Mulan must choose between revealing her true identity or save all of China. This show is full of animated roles with opportunities for every student. It’ll warm your heart and teach the students about Chinese culture and customs.

Based on J.M. Barrie’s classic tale, Peter Pan is one of the most beloved and frequently performed family favorites of all time. This timeless musical will whisk audiences away to a place where dreams are born and no one ever grows up.
Peter and his mischievous fairy sidekick, Tinkerbell, visit the nursery of the Darling children late one night and, with a sprinkle of pixie dust, begin a magical journey across the stars that none of them will ever forget. In the adventure of a lifetime, the students will be cast in unforgettable roles from a ticking crocodile, a fierce Indian tribe, a band of bungling pirates, a group of lost boys, and of course, the villainous Captain Hook.
Peter Pan Jr. is the perfect show for the child who wants to soar high!
