2026 - Ride The Cyclone: High School Edition
The lives of six Canadian teens are cut tragically short when a faulty rollercoaster derails at the local amusement park. But death isn’t the end of their story. In a strange limbo between life and the afterlife, the teens are given one last chance: a mysterious fortune-telling machine, Karnak, will choose one of them to return to the land of the living. As they compete for the second chance they all desperately want, secrets unravel, dreams collide, and each teen reveals who they really were ... and who they might’ve become. Darkly comedic and unexpectedly heart-warming, Ride the Cyclone: High School Edition is a wildly original ride you won’t forget. *This production will be double cast and will not include an ensemble*
2027 - Hadestown: Teen Edition
Two intertwined love stories challenge fate itself. Idealistic singer-songwriter Orpheus falls hard for the practical, hungry Eurydice, but when cold winter drives Eurydice into the depths of Hadestown ... a regimented, high-tech factory city ruled by the brooding Hades and his disaffected wife Persephone ... Orpheus must journey to the end of the world to bring her back. Guided by the smooth-talking Hermes and accompanied by the haunting melodies of the Fates, Hadestown: Teen Edition reimagines ancient Greek mythology into a powerful, Tony Award-winning folk-jazz musical about trust, hope, and the courage to sing in the dark.
2023 - Footloose!
Moving in from Chicago, newcomer Ren McCormack is in shock when he discovers the small Midwestern town he now calls home has made dancing and rock music illegal.

But Ariel's influential father, Reverend Shaw Moore, stands in the way.
