A SEASON OF BREAKING FREE
 

Ticketed Events

This year's performing arts season takes audiences on a journey toward freedom.   Whether breaking with societal conventions in our plays, breaking out of familiar expectations with expressive dance, or breaking through to self-discovery and self-determination in our musicals, we invite you to join us and find your own ways to break free!

It's the first day after winter break at East High.  The Jocks, Brainiacs, Thespians, and Skater Dudes all find their cliques.  Basketball team captain and resident jock, Troy, discovers that the brainy Gabriella (a girl he met singing karoake on his ski trip) has just enrolled at East High.  The couple cause an upheaval when they decide to audition for the high school musical.  Although many students resent the threat posed to the "status quo," Troy and Gabriella's alliance might just open the door for others to shine as well.

Have the once upon a time of your life with this fairytale set to Britney Spears’ biggest hits!

What if ‘happily ever after’ was a lie? In this electrifying musical, Cinderella, Snow White, and their fairy-tale friends are shaken to their core when they are gifted a magical book that challenges everything they know about love, freedom, and destiny. Fuelled by the iconic hits of Britney Spears, these princesses aren’t just flipping the script - they’re reclaiming their futures.

Powered by the chart-topping hits of the undisputed Princess of Pop, Once Upon a One More Time weaves 23 of Britney Spears’ smash singles like ‘Crazy,’ ‘Oops!…I Did It Again,’ ‘Circus,’ ‘Lucky,’ and ‘Toxic’ into ‘a big, modern, musical dance party, with Britney’s beating heart at its core’ (ABC News).

This is a show about breaking free. Free from constraints, free from outdated social roles, and taking back control of your own story. Get ready Kinkaid, because Once Upon a One More Time isn’t just a fairy tale - it’s a revolution.
