STEP VA, Inc., a local nonprofit that empowers people with special needs through artistic expression, will host a performance of Disney’s “The Lion King, Kids!” this weekend.
Stephanie spoke with Jan Monroe, STEP VA President and Warrick Couture, a member of the ensemble about the upcoming performance. Disney’s “The Lion King, Kids!” will be the first licensed work for STEPVA and the first large-scale production for about half the 21 cast members, all of whom have disabilities.
Theater-goers can watch the show in person on April 30 at 7pm or May 1 at 3pm at Fredericksburg Christian School, 9400 Thornton Rolling Road, Fredericksburg, Virginia. A live stream option is also available for friends and family that aren’t local, or aren’t able to attend in person for other reasons, to watch the show and support the actors.
