These talented kids sing, dance and perform to tunes from newer Tony-nominated Broadway musicals including Matilda, 13 the Musical, Newsies and Shrek.  Directed and written by Jonelle Allen, musically directed by David Anthony and choreographed by Anthony Tuason, this original revue tells the story of kids who take an empty theatre hostage. With no set and no lights, audiences will delight at what these young actors can create using their imagination.

Dates are:  Friday, August 2^nd at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, August 3^rd at 2:30 and 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, August 4^th at 2:30 p.m.  Tickets can be purchased by calling (949) 582-4656 (noon-4:00 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday) and online at www.saddleback.edu/arts.
