November 15th-17th

Tickets are only $5

The Four Rivers Children’s Community Theatre program is bringing a Disney-classic to life that the whole family can enjoy on November 15, 16 and 17. Performances of Lion King Jr. will occur each evening with a 1 p.m. matinee show on Saturday. Tickets are only $5, and every purchase supports continued Children’s Theatre Programming.

The Lion King JR. tells the story of the epic adventures of a curious cub named Simba as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as king. Along the way, the young lion encounters a colorful cast of characters including spunky lioness Nala, charismatic meerkat Timon, and loveable warthog Pumbaa. To claim his rightful place on the throne and save his beloved Pridelands, Simba must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar. The Lion King JR. features classic songs from the 1994 film such as “Hakuna Matata” and the Academy Award®-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” as well as additional songs penned for the Broadway production.

Four Rivers Community Theater produces four plays and one summer theater camp serving youth ages K-24. We believe that all children should have the opportunity to explore their confidence through performing arts. We are one of the only places offering this opportunity to Ontario and our surrounding communities of Fruitland, Payette, Weiser, Nyssa, Parma, New Plymouth. Performing arts experiences have been shown to develop Executive skills, leadership, verbal and language skills, and self-esteem. These are undisputed benefits to any child, but especially for low-income youth who are the majority of youth who we serve.
