Welcome to Auradon – where the heroes are perfect, the villains are… mostly reformed, and the music is wicked fun!

Disney’s Descendants: The Musical takes us from the dark and delightfully dramatic Isle of the Lost to the sparkling halls of Auradon Prep. When the kids of Maleficent, Jafar, the Evil Queen, and Cruella De Vil get the chance to leave their villain-filled island and attend school with the children of Disney’s greatest heroes, things are bound to get interesting!

Will they follow in their parents’ evil footsteps, or discover there’s more to life than being bad? You’ll have to watch and see! Our cast and crew spanning Upper, Middle, and Lower School have worked hard to bring this colorful world to life. So get ready to cheer, sing along (we know you know the songs!), and enjoy this adventure of friendship, redemption, and finding your own happily-ever-after.

This year’s production features so many talented performers that we had to double-cast many roles. So, ENJOY THE SHOW and COME BACK AGAIN to see the other cast perform with as much energy, gusto, and talent!

– Valerie Hauss-Smith, Director
