Jason Mraz’s new musical Shine

transcenDANCE Youth Arts Project was selected by the Jason Mraz Foundation to join Jason on stage for the premier of his first musical, SHINE at Spreckels Theatre on Feb 15 & 16 2020. Our students will be taking the stage alongside this Grammy award-winning singer, and we couldn’t be more excited! The two shows sold out in less than two hours, but transcenDANCE was able to secure a limited number of tickets for donors and sponsors. We have great seats in the orchestra for both shows – Saturday, February 15 at 7 PM or Sunday, February 16 at 3 PM.

Twenty-four of our students will be featured in 5 of the numbers with them performing original choreography by transcenDANCE choreographers. Plus transcenDANCE will be in the opening and closing numbers. Malashock, Banding Together, ARTS, Queer Youth Choir, and a steel drum youth group based in Oceanside will also join us with Jason Mraz.

The Snow Queen at North Coast Rep Theatre School

If you and your children were captivated by “Frozen,” you will be equally enchanted by THE SNOW QUEEN, the upcoming play by The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep. Adapted from the beloved Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale by Ron Nicol, this nonmusical production tells the story of Gerda, a little girl who bravely searches for her friend Kai when he is bewitched and imprisoned by the Snow Queen in her ice palace. Gerda’s innocence charms all good people and animals she meets on the way. They help her to the royal court, and on to Lapland, where good conquers evil and the children are reunited. A prominent theme portrays how each new group Gerda encounters seeks to prolong their new friendships.

Director Benjamin Cole promises there will be audience participation when the characters on stage break the fourth wall and ask for help directly, and sometimes get patrons to join them on stage for an even livelier production.
