Looking Ahead to Summer 2026
A Telling of Job, a musical-hybrid
This story is one of the oldest known to man. In keeping with our commitment to story, Job focuses on History, foreign cultures, and a classic publication. This play incorporates several dancing scenes and at least two solo songs taking us back to ancient times. There are plenty of roles without singing and dancing.
Our focus…
The focus is on the process of performing and storytelling, acting skills, and most importantly how to work together through encouragement and teamwork. Understanding the key messages of each story will also be a large part of the experience.
