Miller Auditorium is inviting Local 3rd- 5th grade classes to share their healthy habits. The winning classroom will receive tickets to a performance of THE LION KING in Kalamazoo as well as a "Get Up and Go" workshop taught by THE LION KING cast members.

Disney's THE LION KING premieres at Miller Auditorium from April 4-15, 2018, and to celebrate the event, Miller Auditorium is giving away tickets and an educational workshop to one lucky classroom. The workshop, titled "Get Up and Go," promotes fun ways for kids to lead healthier lifestyles through dance and is inspired by the show's Tony Award-winning choreography and music. We're encouraging schools in the community to enter the contest and show us how they Get Up and Go!
