A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTORS…

Thank you for coming out to THE LION KING JR - our 2018 Youth Production! We are very grateful to have been given the opportunity to work with this amazingly talented group of kids, and so proud of the work that they’ve put in to bring this show to life. We at WWOB believe strongly that art has an important place in the lives of our children, and part of our mission is to make performing arts accessible to the youth of our community. It is our intention to continue to offer performance opportunities for children of all ages, in future Youth Productions as well as mainstage shows, and equip them with not only performance experience, but enhanced skills in all areas of life.
