On Stage

Get ready to soar on a magic carpet ride with our Academy Jr performers as they bring the dazzling world of Aladdin Jr. to life! In the bustling city of Agrabah, a kind-hearted dreamer and a courageous princess discover that the greatest magic of all comes from within. With the help of a larger-than-life Genie, unforgettable songs, and plenty of adventure, Aladdin learns that when you dare to be true, be brave, and be you, a whole new world opens up. At Porch Light, we celebrate every performer’s journey and Aladdin Jr. reminds us all that courage, honesty, and self-belief are the keys to unlocking your own happily-ever-after.

Step into the strange and unusual with our Academy performers as they bring the hilariously haunting world of Beetlejuice Jr. to the stage! When Lydia Deetz, a teen with a flair for the dramatic, meets a couple of recently deceased ghosts and one mischievous bio-exorcist named Beetlejuice, her world is turned upside down in the most delightfully spooky way. With quirky songs, outrageous comedy, and a story that celebrates being unapologetically yourself, Beetlejuice Jr. proves that sometimes the weirdest path is the one that leads you home. At Porch Light, we know theatre is about embracing every side of who you are — and Beetlejuice Jr. shows us that life (and the afterlife!) is a lot more fun when you dare to live out loud.

For the past twenty years, Valley View Charter School has faithfully staged Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The tradition is simple: students take charge of everything — directing, acting, sets, costumes, and all the technical chaos in between. But this year, the students have ideas of their own. What starts as a few “creative choices” quickly unravels into a version of the holiday classic that’s less “London streets” and a little more “barnyard chic.” With the cast, crew, and director all going off-script, the production slowly transforms into something far less Dickens and far more... well, fowl. By the end, the only thing more ruffled than the director’s nerves might just be the costumes!
