About Academy Jr Spring Program
A Journey of Heart, Courage, and Legacy! Take a walk on the wild side as we bring the epic story of The Lion King Jr to the Porch Light stage! In this vibrant, music-filled production, young performers in grades 2-5 will explore the African savanna through bold movement, beautiful harmonies, and a celebration of community and identity. This beloved tale of Simba’s journey becomes a powerful playground for creativity and self-discovery. With unforgettable songs like “Hakuna Matata” and “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King,” students will learn storytelling through sound, rhythm, and ensemble performance — all while building lifelong skills and friendships. Reimagine your roar — and discover your place in the circle of life!
