Aristocrats Play

This morning my children and I attended Disney's, The Aristocrats, presented by Summer Stock Theater Camp and directed by Bruce Taws. It was a real treat! There were many talented performers, several of which are homeshoolers. The program lasted a little over an hour and was jammed packed with songs and action. I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy this play with your family!

The performances are held at Arnold High School in the auditorium. There is one more performance Saturday, July 18th at 7:00pm.
