The Red Phoenix Theatre Company is thrilled to produce Disney’s Descendants and Mamma Mia. Descendants is a fantastic story about breaking free of imposed expectations and choosing your own path. Mamma Mia is a charming tale of family, love, and self discovery. Each of these titles provided rich opportunities for our students, and we were so THRILLED to be back doing live theatre with our community. The pandemic lasted far too long, and seeing our cast and community rise and fly again has been something that we’ve cherished.
Red Phoenix has been celebrating our 10th anniversary this year. It has truly been an honor being a theatre home for our families, and we are so grateful to everyone that has come through our program this past decade. We are working on new ways to provide consistent opportunities for our students starting this fall. Please stay tuned as those develop. Red Phoenix invites you all to join us on that journey, and we look forward to sharing many years to come!
