Disney's Frozen Jr.

Directed by Sandra Griffin, with Music Direction by Rachel Andrews and Assistant Direction by Caitlin Bales, the production has challenged its cast to deliver a high-level theatrical experience filled with singing, dancing, and acting. Choreographer Rylee Brightman helped bring the show’s energetic musical numbers to life, guiding the cast through every step of the production’s dynamic choreography.

“These young performers have worked incredibly hard,” said Director, Sandra Griffin. “They have approached every rehearsal with enthusiasm and a joy for the arts. Audiences are going to be amazed by the level of talent on stage. This youth program is proud to serve as a launching pad for the next generation of performers. Just as importantly, we are grateful for the enthusiastic support of local audiences that helps nurture these young artists, encouraging them to take risks, grow their talents, and discover what they are capable of achieving.”

More About Local Youth Arts Programming – The incredible turnout of 90 children at auditions this spring reflects the growing enthusiasm for youth theatre and arts programming in our community. While young performers appear throughout HCT's season, summer productions give them the opportunity to take center stage and truly shine. Their enthusiasm, creativity, and dedication bring a unique energy to every performance, and when they step into leading roles, they consistently rise to the challenge. Many of HCT's young actors spend years growing within the organization, building skills and confidence before continuing their theatrical journeys at their schools and on stages throughout West Michigan. From school productions to opportunities with Hope Repertory Theatre and Grand Rapids Civic Theatre, we are proud to see these young artists branch out and succeed after getting their start at HCT.
