Upcoming Shows & Events
Soulful Black Wall Street
Where history sings and legacy lives on…
Soulful Black Wall Street is a powerful, music-driven production honoring the rise, resilience, and legacy of Tulsa’s historic Greenwood District, once known as Black Wall Street.
Written and produced by Kay Frances Bell, this original musical blends gospel, jazz, and soul to tell a story of brilliance, community, and perseverance in the face of unimaginable loss. More than a performance, it is a tribute to a thriving community and a reminder of the strength it took to rebuild and remember.
Finding Nemo
Disney’s Finding Nemo KIDS is a 30-minute musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez. Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves.
Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo KIDS brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.
Mean Girls: The Musical
Grease for the 21st Century!
Mean Girls is what happens when Tina Fey takes the high school social order, puts it under a microscope, and then hands it a microphone.
As part of our Summer School Season, this is a story about reinvention with killer songs and really good hair. It is about the strange, ridiculous, occasionally brutal world of trying to belong, and what it costs when fitting in starts to matter more than telling the truth.
Cady Heron has spent her life far from the American teenage ecosystem. Then she lands in public high school and meets The Plastics, three girls who rule the building with the discipline of a political machine and the mercy of a shark. What starts as a game turns into something riskier when Cady realizes it is a lot easier to become part of the system than it is to beat it.
NOTE: THESE PERFORMANCES WILL BE AT WACO HIGH SCHOOL.
Located at 2020 N 42nd St Waco,TX.
