North Fort Myers Academy for the Arts middle school production of the hit musical “Descendants,” will take the stage at the school on April 25 and 26.

The performances, at 6:30 p.m. each day, will showcase the talents of students in grades 6-8.

The show promises to captivate audiences with its innovative approach to storytelling, enhanced by the debut of the school’s cutting-edge high-resolution projection system.

Under the direction of Kathy Rivadeneira, the cast and crew have been hard at work rehearsing for this exciting production, which brings the beloved characters of Disney’s “Descendants” to life on stage. Set in the idyllic kingdom of Auradon, the musical follows the journey of the teenage children of Disney’s most infamous villains as they navigate the complexities of friendship, identity, and acceptance.

What sets this production apart is the integration of a state-of-the-art, high-resolution projection system, allowing for seamless transitions between scenes and transporting audiences to the fantastical worlds depicted in the show. With stunning visuals and immersive storytelling, viewers will feel as though they’ve stepped directly into the magical universe of “Descendants.”

“We’re incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication our students have put into this production,” said Rivadeneira. “The addition of our new projection system has elevated the theatrical experience to a whole new level, allowing us to create dynamic and visually stunning scenes that will leave a lasting impression on audiences.”

The cast features a talented ensemble of young performers, each bringing their own unique energy and charisma to their roles. From the charismatic descendants of Maleficent and the Evil Queen to the charming princes and princesses of Auradon, audiences can expect a delightful blend of humor, heart, and unforgettable musical numbers.

Tickets may be purchased for $12 online HERE or at the door for $15 the day of the performance.
