Disney’s

as they swing their way through madcap adventures and thwart the ferocious
tiger, Shere Khan in this exciting Disney classic! With colorful characters and
that toe-tapping jungle rhythm, Disney’s The Jungle Book Kids is a
great way to introduce the youngest audience members to the magic of live
theatre!
The
Asheville Community Theatre production stars a cast of 16 students who have
been rehearsing afters chool since August.
From choreography to costumes, the Youth Production Classes at ACT
provide students the opportunity to participate in a musical from beginning to
end.
“Last
week, a group of actors were practicing in our lobby before a rehearsal. They
were running lines and their stage manager was gently nudging them when they
needed a bit of help,” said Chanda Calentine, Education Director at ACT. “That's
not so unusual at the theatre. But here's what is: they were all under the age
of 15.”
