Youth Theatre Carson City's 'The Lion King Jr.' ends run with Friday through Sunday shows
The last weekend performances of Youth Theatre Carson City's production of Disney’s 'The Lion King Jr.', are Friday through Sunday, Jan. 20-22, in the Bob Boldrick Theatre at the Carson City Community Center.
Based on the classic animated Disney film and the groundbreaking Broadway musical, "The Lion King" has captivated the imagination of audiences worldwide. The Youth Theatre Carson City production was Northern Nevada's first run.
"The Lion King Jr." features the talents of over 70 local youth grades Pre-K-9. Sharing the title role are Clarissa Quintana, 10, and Parker Schmid, 10, as Young Simba; and Hayden Breiter, 13, and Tony Gurrieri, 13, as the grown-up Simba. Also featured are a host of young singers, dancers, actors playing all of your favorite Disney characters and representing the animals of the Pridelands.
Supporting our young cast is a small group of very talented, dedicated teenage interns grades 10-12 who have assisted with musical direction, choreography, and staging.
“I am so incredibly proud of this amazing group of young people,” commented Andie Anderson, Artistic Director of Youth Theatre Carson City and Director of The Lion King, Jr. “This is an incredibly difficult, incredibly artistic piece, and every single member of the cast has worked so hard to make the story come to life in such a beautiful way. They are enchanting.”
