We would like to extend a big congratulations to the young performers of The Lion King Kids! What a wonderful job they did, especially for their first show. The future of musical theatre in Estill County looks bright!

We couldn’t be more proud of this cast and crew! It’s always bittersweet when a show ends, but we are already working on next year! But for now, get some well deserved rest.

🕰️🐛🐰5/6 Shows Complete! 🍄🌹👑

Almost over! We continued performance week with a viewing for the students and staff at ECHS. Then, we also welcomed the rest of the students and staff from Estill Springs for our afternoon performance. Across both shows, the crowds were so fun, and their support helped the actors pull offf two more amazing performances.

We closed out the night with our first community show, where students got to perform for their friends and family. Thank you to everyone who came tonight and showed your support for our very first musical!

On Sunday, we’ll have our final show @2:00 PM at ECHS! Admission is $5.00. If you didn’t get a chance to see the show today, this is the last chance to enjoy all of the hard work these kids have put into this show!

🕰️🐛🐰2/6 Shows Complete! 🍄🌹👑

Today was a big day! We kicked off performance week with a show attended by students and teachers from South Irvine, Estill Springs, ECMS, and the Success Academy. To say it was a packed house is an understatement! In the afternoon, we finished up the day by welcoming students and teachers from West Irvine. All schools were amazing guests and we loved having getting the chance to perform for hopeful future members of Blue Train Theatre!

Tomorrow, we’ll welcome more students for our school showings and we will have our first community performance @6:00 PM at ECHS! If you happen to be late (it’s okay - that’s normal in Wonderland), we also have a showing on Sunday @2:00 PM also at ECHS! We hope to see you there!
