The final homeschool showing kicks off at 1p with Disney’s Moana Jr. live at the Taft Theatre!
“TCT is taking on the story of Moana like no one has ever seen before in a production featuring intricate, handcrafted, life-size puppets by Kevin Frisch of The Frisch Marionette Company. The entire show takes place in the dark! Puppets and scenic pieces, designed by Benjamin Gantose, will use blacklight technology to highlight the magic and mesmerize audiences of all ages!” says Artistic Director, Roderick Justice.
TCT is working closely with Samoan Native, Siaa Alama. Siaa acts as TCT’s Cultural Consultant of Samoan Studies, guiding the creative team remotely from American Somana. Anna Rose Deleon Guerrero is the Cast Cultural Consultant. A native of Saipan, CNMI, and a proud actor of mixed AAPI heritage, Anna Rose has worked at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios Orlando.
DISNEY’S MOANA JR. is a 60-minute musical adaptation of the 2016 Disney animated film, bringing the adventures of Moana and her village of Motunui to life onstage. DISNEY’S MOANA JR. features all the beloved songs from the film, written by Tony®, GRAMMY, Emmy, and Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda, Opetaia Foa’i, and Mark Mancina, including “How Far I’ll Go,” “Shiny,” and “You’re Welcome.”
This thrilling and heartwarming coming-of-age story follows the strong-willed Moana as she sets sail across the Pacific to save her village and discover the truth about her heritage. Moana and the legendary demigod Maui embark on an epic journey of self-discovery and camaraderie as both learn to harness the power that lies within. With empowering messages of bravery and selflessness, DISNEY’S MOANA JR. is sure to bring out the hero within each of us.
For TCT’s 22-23 MainStage shows at the Taft Theatre, currently there are not any restrictions for entry. Masks are welcome, but not required. Safety is always our highest priority, and we hope you’ll treat each other with kindness and respect throughout your theatrical journey with us.
