Director: Camille Reinecke
Music Director: Eric Petterson | Choreographer: Jackilyn Yamialkowski
PERFORMANCES: Friday, January 24 at 7pm; Saturday, January 25 at 7pm; Sunday, January 26 at 2pm
If you thought you knew the story of ‘The Princess and The Pea,’ you may be in for a walloping surprise! Did you know, for instance, that Princess Winnifred actually swam the moat to reach Prince Dauntless the Drab? Or that Lady Larken’s love for Sir Harry provided a rather compelling reason that she reach the bridal altar post haste? Or that, in fact, it wasn’t the pea at all that caused the princess a sleepless night? Carried on a wave of wonderful songs, by turns hilarious and raucous, romantic and melodic, this rollicking spin on the familiar classic of royal courtship and comeuppance provides for some side-splitting shenanigans. Chances are you’ll never look at fairy tales quite the same way again.

The SCC Youth Theatre Program’s production of
Disney’s The Aristocats KIDS
August 22, 2:00 PM
Shopland Hall, 4th Floor
——————–
Crazy, man – crazy! This charming, smooth, and adventurous stage adaptation is a celebration of Disney’s exploration into mid-century jazz in Paris. Cat-napped and abandoned miles from home by a dastardly butler with a hidden agenda, Duchess and her kittens, Telouse, Berlioz, and Marie – the smartest Aristocats in Paris – set off on a journey to reunite with their beloved owner, Madame. With the unlikely help of a jazz-loving group of Alley Cats, will the cats find their way home? Adapted especially for young performers, this musical includes favorite songs such as “Thomas O’Malley Cat,” “The Aristocats,” and “Ev’rybody Wants to Be a Cat.” This production of The Aristocats KIDS is sure to keep your toes (and paws) tapping!
