Media release from Rome Little Theatre:
Rome Little Theatre’s production of Disney’s Descendants: The Musical will run August 30-September 8, 2024, Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 2:30pm.
Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a brand-new musical jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films!
Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good?
Descendants is directed by Hannah Camacho, who says, “Our audiences will see a new generation of Disney characters pave the way for unity among their divided lands. With change, tension naturally follows. Some lean into change while others resist it.” She continues, “How familiar does this sound? Resisting change because it’s new? Using prejudice to define someone you don’t know? This is what I love about this show. It tells a story we all can relate to and how we can be the change we want to see. Our cast is full of incredible talent and heart and I know that our younger generations are full of leaders and change makers. They have a vision for a world that is stronger when we work together despite our differences.”
The cast features actors aged 12- 22 from Rome City and Floyd and Catoosa County Schools, Darlington, Unity, St. Mary’s and various homeschool groups. For tickets, visit romelittletheatre.com.
