Tickets will be available the day of the performance beginning at 11AM in person or by phone and will cost a minimum of $1. Tickets purchased by phone will have a minimum cost of $5.

KIDSTAGE SummerStock provides an opportunity for over 40 young people, ages 9-18, to join together to perform in high quality productions.

In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a talkative donkey, a short-tempered bad guy, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you've got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Based on the hit film, Shrek: The Musical is a Tony Award winning stage musical that has swept the world with its magic and irreverent fun for the whole family. Join KIDSTAGE as we bring this hilarious story of everyone's favorite ogre to dazzling life in a way you've never seen before.

Originally adapted from Victor Hugo's timeless novel, Les Misérables School Edition will have audiences immersed in the grand and inspirational story that has touched the hearts of millions. An emotional and uplifting epic, Les Misérables follows the life-long struggle of a petty thief searching for redemption and the relentless inspector who will never stop hunting him down. Set amid the political and social turmoil of early 19th century France, the show includes a majestic score of some of the most memorable songs ever written, including "On my Own," "Do you Hear the People Sing?," "Castle on a Cloud," and "I Dreamed A Dream."
