In the heart of Paris, a kind and eccentric millionairess wills her entire estate to Duchess, her high-society cat, and her three little kittens. Laughs and adventure ensue as the greedy, bumbling butler pulls off the ultimate catnap caper. Now it's up to the rough-and-tumble alley cat, Thomas O'Malley, and his band of swingin' jazz cats to save the day. Disney's The Aristocats KIDS features plenty of exuberant group numbers and a cast that can be expanded by adding additional alley cats to the chorus.

Based on the award-winning Broadway musical and the smash hit motion picture, Legally Blonde: The Musical JR. is a fabulously fun journey of self-empowerment and expanding horizons. The show's instantly recognizable songs are filled with humor, wit and sass — leaving cast members and audiences alike seeing pink! Legally Blonde JR. follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. When Elle's boyfriend, Warner, dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate, Emmett, and spunky hairdresser, Paulette, along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren't mutually exclusive. As Elle begins outsmarting her peers, she realizes that law may be her natural calling after all.
Legally Blonde JR. features large, energetic dance numbers with an expandable cast of sorority sisters, law school students, hairdressers and more.

Get ready for an irreverent adventure as CenterStage dives deep into the teen experience with the edgy cult musical Be More Chill. The show features a cast of diverse misfits who ooze personality and smarts. Jeremy Heere is an average, awkward, anxiety-ridden teenager attending a suburban New Jersey high school. Nerdy and unpopular, Jeremy moves through his day wishing he could be one of the cool kids. That is, until he finds out about "The Squip," a tiny supercomputer that promises to bring him everything he desires most: a date with the amazing Christine (star of the drama department), an invite to the raddest party of the year and a chance to thrive as the most “chill” dude on campus. But is being the most popular guy in school worth the risk?
Be More Chill is based on the novel by Ned Vizzini and premiered on May 30, 2015. The show's cast recording gained a huge following online, reaching the Top 10 of Billboard's Cast Album chart in July 2017. After a run off-Broadway, Be More Chill opened on Broadway at the Lyceum Theatre on March 10, 2019.
The Be More Chill rehearsal schedule is fast and furious! Our goal is to get the show cast and all music taught (with maybe some staging done) before the holiday break. We then we have an intense, but short, rehearsal period in the month of January with an opening on Feb. 3. We will do our best to only call those involved in individual scenes to rehearsals to minimize impact on other activities.
* Parents should note that Be More Chill contains mature content (PG-13) and should familiarize themselves with the story before signing their children up for this production. A detailed plot synopsis can be found on Wikipedia - search “Be More Chill (musical)”.
