Dare to Dream JR.

Disney’s Dare to Dream JR. is a 60-minute musical that follows an eager group of trainees on their first day at a fictional Walt Disney Imagineering Studio. As the group sets out to help each other discover their dreams, they work together to explore the power of dreams to unite, inspire, and make anything possible.

Drawing from a century of beloved Disney films, Dare to Dream JR. features songs appearing for the first time ever in a Disney stage musical, including fan-favorites from The Princess and the Frog, Coco, Encanto, and Frozen II. This musical is a thrilling mix of contemporary songs, timeless classics, and brand-new medleys that are sure to surprise and delight Disney lovers of all ages.

A scholarship will be awarded to one student who demonstrates financial need, enabling them to pursue their artistic training and goals.

Students learn:

…focus, imagination, creation, and theatre games, while rehearsing for a final performance. A fun way to work with other young people! Students have the opportunity to develop theatre and public presentation skills as they rehearse for a production where they can make friends and work as a team.

This class is for ages 9-17.
