Based on the popular Disney Channel Original Movies, Disney’s “Descendants: The Musical” is a brand-new musical, jam-packed with comedy, adventure, Disney characters, and hit songs from the films are featured.

Imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost – home of the most infamous villains who ever lived – the teenaged children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar, and Cruella De Vil have never ventured off the island… until now. When the four troublemakers are sent to attend prep school alongside the children of beloved Disney heroes, they have a difficult choice to make: should they follow in their parents’ wicked footsteps or learn to be good? Questions should be addressed to Sheryl Scheffert, director, at sherylscheffert@gmail.com or 563-379-5738.
