🗽 A Bite of the Big Apple
📅 July 20–24
This summer, a group of tourists is going on their first ever trip to New York City and their most anticipated sight to see is the Statue of Liberty! However, NYC is a chaotic place and the tourists' attempts to get to the famous landmark are thwarted by a host of eccentric New Yorkers. Will the tourists make it to the Statue of Liberty, or will they miss their chance?
🦸 The Good, the Bad, and the Sidekicks...
📅 July 27–31
Being a sidekick is a thankless job. The heroes and villains get all of the attention, and the sidekicks want their time to shine. So, the sidekicks embark on a journey to figure out how they fit in, and to prove themselves. All the while, they are being followed by a group of exceptionally strong-willed journalists, and a new evil plan is being hatched by the villains... Will the sidekicks find out how they fit in, and save the world?
Morning or Afternoon Sessions available both weeks.

🌟 Join us this summer at Joplin Little Theatre, where young imaginations take center stage! 🌟

** Cast List Revised**
This year, we were fortunate to have an incredible turnout of talented performers. Because of the depth of talent and our commitment to providing meaningful opportunities for young actors to learn and grow, several roles, including all of the orphan characters and select adult roles, will be double-cast.
Double-casting allows more performers to gain valuable stage experience while ensuring every performance is filled with the energy, dedication, and talent that make live theatre so special.
We can't wait for you to meet both casts and see the unique strengths each performer brings to these beloved characters. Congratulations to our entire company! We're excited to begin this journey together! ❤️🎶
