Based on the hit Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s Descendants: The Musical is a high-energy, feel-good production packed with comedy, adventure, and favorite songs kids love.
​
When the children of Disney’s most infamous villains are given the chance to attend school with the children of heroes, they must decide who they want to become. Through music, humor, and heart, Descendants explores themes of identity, choice, and friendship—while helping young performers build confidence, teamwork, and stage skills in a fun, supportive environment.

What does tuition cover?
Our tuition is $450, making us one of the more reasonable children’s theater programs in the area. We’re committed to keeping musical theater accessible for families by inviting—though never requiring—parents to volunteer and by offsetting costume expenses with specialized pieces for select characters. Tuition includes all rehearsals, performances and a cast T-shirt. And of course, you’ll also benefit from the love, time, and dedication your directing team pours into every production!
