Order shirts, water bottles and more on our ticketing site! These logos will NOT be the same as our show shirts.
3 inch buttons with your actor's face on them are a great way to show your support your actors! Buttons can be pre-ordered here and paid for/picked up at concessions at the show. Note (48 hour notice is required for guaranteed delivery). Buttons are $6 for 1, $5 for every additional 1. 1 Image for all buttons.
Costume Use Fees ($99) will run in January. Specific costume/hair and makeup requirements will be presented as we get closer to the performances. Most actors will need black jazz shoes. Hyenas and Scar will need black combat boots. Please note, some of the costume pieces and accessories will be shared between multiple actors, so staying diligent and aware of normal kid issues like lice, deodorant and things will be very important.
Performances will run April 18th-21st. Participation in all assigned performances is mandatory. All actors will have a minimum of 3 performances. Assigned performances and times will be released shortly, and ticket sales will begin shortly thereafter. Assigned ticketed seating will apply this season.
Reminder- Kenya Cast is the Tuesday rehearsal group, Tanzania Cast is the Thursday rehearsal group. Youth Chorus participants will be in all shows. Performances are at Sullivan Middle School Auditorium, side entrance, near Cherry Park.

Showtime Theatre Company's production team is all volunteer, and as such, they require a lot of assistance to create the caliber of production value we are known for. We require that all families contribute a minimum of 8 hours of volunteer time, with at least 4 hours of that in load in and 2 hours at load out. For those who cannot make that commitment, there is an option to make a donation of $80 in lieu of volunteer hours so we can hire someone to replace you, here paypal.me/ShowtimeTheatreCo . Load in and set up takes place April 7th- 12th. Strike will be on the 21st after the final performance.
There will be an in-studio cast party in their normal rehearsal time the week after the performances. We will look for volunteers to assist with those events as we get closer. Please plan on bringing a dish/snack/dessert to share.
The Lion King Jr cast members will continue in their assigned rehearsal times through May, with a special workshop from a guest artist on Acting for the Camera. Portions of their Acting for the Camera workshop will be filmed for our first annual Year in Review Movie Premier. Then they will have an early June break and return June/July for their choice of evening classes on Thursdays, or the Musical Theatre Intensive week, or both.
