In the beautiful mountainous kingdom of Arendelle, Princesses Anna and Elsa grow up sheltered inside their castle, isolated from the world and increasingly distant from each other. When Elsa is crowned queen, the magical powers she’s desperately tried to conceal from her sister take control, and she flees into the mountains. As a ferocious winter descends on Arendelle, Anna sets off on an epic journey to find Elsa and bring her home – with the help of hardworking ice harvester Kristoff, his loyal reindeer Sven, and a happy-go-lucky snowman named Olaf.

DREAMLAND at Springboro Community Theatre Runs June 12-21

DREAMLAND
Springboro Community Theatre Youth Program
June 12-21
Springboro Performing Arts Center

Dreamland (or a musical riff on Shakespeare’s Midsummer set during the declassification of Area 51) is exactly what the title says it is, or is it? Who thought it would be a good idea to give a group of high school honor students free rein in a top-secret military base two days before it opens to the public? Will there be aliens? Maybe. A show choir? Definitely. An over-the-top, B-movie-style musical comedy with a score that blends contemporary musical theatre pop with the smooth sounds of the 1950s, Dreamland is the brainchild of Chris Miller & Nathan Tysen, award-winning songwriters of Tuck Everlasting on Broadway.

NEWSIES the Musical Runs June 5-7 at Royal Theatre Company

NEWSIES the Musical
Royal Theatre Company
June 5-7
Mason High School

NEWSIES is a musical about the real-life 1899 New York City newsboys’ strike, following charismatic leader Jack Kelly as he rallies poor, young newspaper sellers to stand up against exploitative newspaper publishers (like Joseph Pulitzer) who raise prices at the boys’ expense, fighting for fair wages and better treatment, ultimately learning the power of unity and friendship. It’s a story of underdogs finding their voice, dreaming big, and challenging powerful forces for workers’ rights.
