Collins Intermediate Welcomes You To A Production Of The Lion King Jr.
Welcome to our inaugural production! We are excited to bring to the stage Lion King, Jr. for the Scottsboro Community. What began as a simple idea of encouraging student involvement and exposure to the arts has blossomed into a community wide event. We are humbled by the outpouring of support from our community to make this production possible. Thank you to The City of Scottsboro, Scottsboro City Schools, the faculty and staff of Collins Intermediate, parents and our numerous community supporters for your encouragement throughout this endeavor. Walt Disney was once quoted as saying,”If you can dream it, you can do it”. We hope you enjoy watching our dreams come alive on stage.
