Disney’s Dare to Dream JR. is a musical revue that follows an eager group of trainees on their first day at a fictional Walt Disney Imagineering Studio. As the group sets out to help each other discover their dreams, they work together to explore the power of dreams to unite, inspire, and make anything possible. Drawing from a century of beloved Disney films, Dare to Dream JR. features songs appearing for the first time ever in a Disney stage musical, including fan-favorites from The Princess and the Frog, Coco, Encanto, and Frozen II. This musical revue is a thrilling mix of contemporary songs, timeless classics, and brand-new medleys that are sure to surprise and delight Disney lovers of all ages.
Designed specifically for today’s young performers and full of opportunities for ensembles big and small, Dare to Dream JR. turns a century of Disney magic into a theatrical celebration of music, creativity, and the dreams that live inside us all.

Parental Support Required
Due to the nature of the production we ask for your help. There are a number of jobs that need fulfilling to enable the shows to go ahead
Chaperone - someone to look after children during rehearsals and show, sign them in and out, help them change, get them ready to perform and generally be their ‘go-to’ adult responsible for them throughout the event. We also need one male chaperone per show for the boys. No experience necessary.
Front of house - programme selling in the foyer before the show and during the interval. Also scanning tickets for entry. No experience necessary.
Runner/ stage hand - an experience of how a show runs is preferable, runners organise the children from dressing rooms to stage and stage hands organise the set, props and curtain.
By signing below I agree that my child will be able to attend all compulsory rehearsals and give full commitment to the show. I understand that if my child is not able to perform in the show, for whatever reason I will forfeit any monies paid.
Also, I agree that any video footage, pictures or photographic material (being taken by an appointed member/representative of the school) may be used by the school for promotional purposes on the school website, press, social networking and also for the DVD release for every participating parents use.
Direct debits will be set up for your payment plan as detailed above and payments will be taken on the agreed dates.
I agree as the person with parental responsibility to the above;
